When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth.
In order to see it, you must stand:
-- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible,
-- outdoors
-- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
Yes, a person standing on the Moon would see a total solar eclipse if they were positioned in the right spot during a lunar eclipse. From the Moon's perspective, the Earth would pass directly in front of the Sun, creating a total eclipse. However, because the Moon has no atmosphere, the view would be stark and dramatic, with the Earth appearing as a dark disk silhouetted against the bright solar corona. This phenomenon is distinct from how we experience solar eclipses from Earth.
During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.
A person standing on the moon would see a partial solar eclipse when the Earth partially blocks the Sun's light. This is because the Earth's size in the moon's sky would be large enough to create this effect, similar to how the Moon creates a solar eclipse on Earth.

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!

Nothing whatsoever. Being in a solar eclipse is like standing in the light, then moving into the shade. That's all it is; shade.
There are different kinds of solar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when an astrological body blocks view of the sun. If the observer is standing on the earth, and the moon moves in between the observer and the sun, that is an eclipse. If the observer is standing on earth's moon, and the earth moves between the observer and the sun, that is also an eclipse.
