A solar eclipse may be partial, total, or annular.
There are four different types of solar eclipse, namely Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse. A partial solar eclipseoccurs when only part of the Sun is covered by the Moon which appears to take a "bite" out of the Sun.
The outer incomplete piece of darkness during a solar eclipse is known as the penumbra. It is the region where only a partial shadow is cast, allowing some sunlight to reach the observer. During a solar eclipse, people located in the penumbral area see a partial eclipse, where the Moon covers only a portion of the Sun. In contrast, those in the umbra experience a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely obscured.
No. The next solar eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse on June 1, 2011.
You will see a partial eclipse if you are in the penumbra.
-- 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).
