Answer:

The partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s penumbra shadow covers a part of Earth, and only observers within it experience this event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observers in the penumbra will witness a partial eclipse, with only part of the Sun covered by the Moon. Those outside the Moon’s shadow will see no eclipse at all.
