When a person experiences the third stage eclipse or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
Because the moon is small compared to the Earth, the shadow it casts isn't very large. The small size of the shadow and the rotation of the Earth mean that where you need to be to see a solar eclipse is very specific and changes from eclipse to eclipse. To see the next total solar eclipse, you'll have to travel to Northeastern Australia or North New Zealand on November 13, 2012. Good luck!
What is the moon's umbra?
The moon's umbra is the darkest part of its shadow during a lunar or solar eclipse.

The umbra is contrasted with the penumbra, where only a portion of the Sun's light is obscured.
