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 see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
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.
During a total lunar eclipse, about half of the Earth can see the moon centered in the umbra. This is because the umbra is the darkest part of Earth's shadow, and it is only visible from the side of the Earth that is facing the moon during the eclipse.
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.

The moon's umbra is the darkest part of its shadow during a lunar or solar eclipse. It is the region where the light from the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon, resulting in total darkness for observers within this area. During a solar eclipse, those located in the umbra experience a total eclipse, while those outside it may see a partial eclipse. The umbra is contrasted with the penumbra, where only a portion of the Sun's light is obscured.
You're on exactly the right track, and you're thinking exactly right.But it's not exactly the "moon's" penumbra ... it's the penumbra ofthe moon's 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!
There are times that the umbra of the moon fails to reach the Earth. This is when the moon is at apogee. When this happens, observers witness an annular, or ring, eclipse. During anannular eclipse, observers in the umbra see a thin, bright ring around the moon.
They are the penumbra (think of a large circle) and the umbra (think of a small, darker circle in the center of the large circle). People who have the penumbra only pass over them see a partial eclipse. People who have the umbra pass over them see a total eclipse.
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
