When the Moon begins to move across the Sun's face we get a partial eclipse. Gradually more and more is covered until we get totality. Then the Moon continues to move and some of the Sun is uncovered so the eclipse is partial again. Also, the total eclipse is not seen over the whole Earth, only directly under the Moon. Places outside that region may see a partial eclipse.
