People in the penumbra during a solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, where the sun is only partially covered by the moon. This results in a crescent shape of sunlight rather than a total blockage. The amount of sunlight that is blocked will depend on how close they are to the umbra, the central region of the shadow.
Why doesnt the entire earth experience the eclipse?
Not the entire Earth experiences an eclipse because the alignment required for an eclipse—where the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun (solar eclipse) or the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon (lunar eclipse)—only occurs in specific regions. The shadow of the Moon or the Earth only covers a portion of the Earth's surface during these events. Additionally, the curvature of the Earth means that only those in the direct path of the shadow will see the eclipse, while others may see a partial eclipse or none at all.

The moon's shadow consists of two parts describe in detail what they are.?
The moon's shadow during an eclipse consists of two main parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the inner, darker part of the shadow where the moon completely blocks the sun's light, resulting in totality during a solar eclipse. The penumbra is the outer, lighter part of the shadow where the sun is only partially obscured, leading to a partial eclipse. Observers located in the umbra experience a total eclipse, while those in the penumbra see a partial eclipse.

A total solar eclipse can only be seen by people in the area of Earth within the Moon's umbra?
Short answer: True. Long answer: not entirely true as follows: The eclipse event as a whole is visible to anyone within either the umbra or the penumbra, however it appears as truly total only to those within the umbra. That is, those who are not in the umbra are seeing an event that will be called a "total eclipse", just not optimally, as it will appear only partial to them.
