Why is the penumbra formed?
The "penumbra" or outer shadow is the area of a shadow from which part of the light source, but not all of it, is visible.For a total solar eclipse, the regions where the Moon's shadow only partially covers the Sun is called the penumbra. Areas where the maximum shadow occurs, where the Moon is centered on the Sun, is the umbra. An eclipse where the Moon does not cover the entire Sun is called an annular eclipse, and the shadow area is called the antumbra.

Why does a solar eclipse not cover much of the earth's surface but a lunar eclipse covers half of the earth's surface at any point?
During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow only covers a small area on the Earth's surface due to the moon being much smaller than the Earth. In contrast, during a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow is much larger as it extends further into space and can darken the entire moon visible from Earth at that time.
How does a partial solar eclipse differ form a total eclipse?
-- During a partial solar eclipse, part of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon) and the rest of it is still there. -- During a total solar eclipse, the entire disk of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon).

What is the difference between a full lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon falls into the Earth's shadow. During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.
Why does a lunar shadow never cover the earth completely?

Is the umbra larger during a solar eclips or a lunar eclips?
The "umbra" is the darkest central shadow; the "penumbra" is the lighter partial shadow. Since the Earth is much larger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow.The "umbra" of the Moon is only about 300 miles across at a maximum when it hits the Earth, which is why a solar eclipse (which is the Moon's shadow on the Earth) covers such a small area. The Earth's umbra during a lunar eclipse (the Earth's shadow on the Moon) more than covers the entire Moon.
