The differnence between a total solar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse is that a total solar eclipse you can see the moon appear to cover the sun completely and then the sky becomes dark that you can see the stars and a total solar eclipse lasts no longer than about seven minutes. The partial solar eclipse is similar to a total solar eclipse except that the moon never completely covers the sun.

∙ 14y agoPartial Lunar Eclipse:
- A Portion of the Moon passes through Earths Umbral Shadow
- These events are easy to see, even with the unaided eye.
Total Lunar Eclipse:
- The entire Moon passes through the Earths umbral shadow.
- These events are quite striking for the vibrant range of colors the Moon can take on during the total phase (i.e. - totality)

∙ 14y agoTotal eclipse is when,for a few moments. the moon passes between sun and earth and completely blocks off sunlight to earth. In partial eclipse the moon does not pass completely between sun and earth allowing some sunlight through.

∙ 6y agoIn a total eclipse the sun and the moon line up pretty much perfectly so that it completely blocks the sun from view. In a partial eclipse the alignment is not as perfect, and the moon does not cover the sun completely.
