During the solar eclipse you see the corona and chromosphere of the sun, which are the outermost layers. These layers are very diffuse and their light is normally drowned out by that of the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse the photosphere is blocked from view, allowing you to see the dimmer layers.
What else can I help you with?

How do you make a solar eclipse?
You dont make it. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially blocking it or completely blocking it, which is known as a total solar eclipse. When this happens the light bursts out the sides creating an annulus, or ring of light. Here is a video of a total solar eclipse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBmKQRQsks&feature=related The annulus is at 2:22

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclispe?
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's light from Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks the sun's light from the moon.
Is the umbra the partial shadow of a eclipse?
No, the umbra is the central, darkest part of a shadow where the light source is completely blocked. In the case of an eclipse, the umbra refers to the region of total darkness where the light source is completely obscured, such as during a total solar eclipse.
Does a solar eclipse happens when the moon blocks out light from the sun?

What is the difference between the umbra and penumbra of a solar eclipse?
Those words refer to regions within a shadow. The 'umbra' is the region of total shadow, from within which none of the light source is visible. In the umbra of the moon's shadow, none of the sun is visible, and you're witnessing a 'total' solar eclipse. The penumbra is the area of partial shadow, from within which part but not all of the light source is visible. In the penumbra of the moon's shadow, part but not all of the sun is visible, and you're witnessing a 'partial' solar eclipse.
