A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are not perfectly aligned, but the moon still passes in front of the sun, partially obscuring it's disc. Anywhere from a small percentage of the sun, to 90%+ of it's disc may be covered by the moon's disc, but the sun will not be completely covered at any time, as it is in a total eclipse.

For an eclipse to occur the Sun, Moon and Earth must be in line. For a total eclipse the centers of each object must be all on the same line (a very special condition). If they are not, a partial eclipse will occur. The times that all 3 objects are aligned perfectly occur much less frequently than the partial alignment resulting in the partial eclipses. The related link below shows a nice diagram which will make this clearer.
