The shadow is of the Moon when it is in-between the Earth and the Sun.
You will see a partial eclipse if you are in the penumbra.
This is an eclipse of the moon.
A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.
The darkest portion of the Moon's shadow during a total solar eclipse is called the umbra. It is the region where the Sun is completely blocked and only the Moon's shadow falls on Earth, creating the darkest point of the eclipse.
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.

A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.
Solar eclipse (total or otherwise): at new moon. Lunar eclipse (total or otherwise): at full moon. -- Immediately after a Solar eclipse you get a new crescent moon appearing in the sky. Obviously therefore the eclipse happens at the point when the side of the moon that faces us is in total shadow - indeed during the eclipse we are covered by that shadow. -- Immediately after a lunar eclipse, as soon as the moon moves out of the shadow, it is full.
solar
yeah

An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
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!
A Solar Eclipse, depending where you are in relation to the shadow, depends on whether you see a total Eclipse or a partial.
i am 100% sure that it is called a total solar eclipse when it stays between them but there is also partial solar eclipse where the earth has a total shadow and a partial shadow on it. i know this because im a sixth grader.Embarrasing huh?
