If you are standing in the umbra, you would see none of the Sun. The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow during an eclipse, where the light from the Sun is completely blocked by an object, such as the Moon during a solar eclipse. In this region, the Sun is entirely obscured, creating a total eclipse effect.
If you are standing in the umbra during a solar eclipse, you would see none of the sun. The umbra is the innermost and darkest part of the shadow cast by the moon, where the sun is completely obscured. This results in a total eclipse, where the sun is entirely hidden from view.
NO they don't. First the Solar Eclipse is on the other side of Umbra. They don't git to see much of it.Because it is usually to dark to see the moon in Umbra.
No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
Definitely not! Two people standing right next to each other will generally have the same view, but if two people are a mile apart, its' possible that one will experience a total solar eclipse while the other will see only a partial eclipse. For people who are right on the edge of the path of totality, it's possible to do an interesting experiment; line up a set of telescopes every 10 yards or so, connected to photosensors and highly accurate clocks. Measure the precise time at which the Sun flickers into view through the valleys in the mountains on the Moon, and you can create amazingly accurate elevation maps of the lunar mountains.

you would see who and what is built on the moon.

If a lunar eclipse is in progress, the moon is in the earth's shadow. If any part of the moon becomes almost as dark as the space around it, then that part of the moon is in the umbra of the shadow. If you can see the lunar eclipse, then you are on the night side of the earth. I guess that means you're also in the umbra of the shadow, because you can't see the sun at all.

A person standing on the moon would see a partial solar eclipse when the Earth partially blocks the Sun's light. This is because the Earth's size in the moon's sky would be large enough to create this effect, similar to how the Moon creates a solar eclipse on Earth.
The umbraUmbra comes from the Latin "shadow". It is the darkest part of a shadow. From within the umbra, the source of light is completely blocked by the object causing the shadow. This contrasts with the penumbra, where the light source is only partially blocked and there is only a partial shadow.
You can't really see an umbra because it is named from the lunar eclipse. It does something special so type up the question to figure out. [At 6/26/2010 at 2:30 AM in the morning there was a lunar eclipse].
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!
