What happens when a penumbra or antumbra hits the earth?

When a penumbra hits the Earth, it creates a partial eclipse, where only a portion of the Sun is obscured by the Moon, resulting in a gradual dimming of sunlight. In contrast, when an antumbra reaches the Earth, it leads to an annular eclipse, where the Moon covers the center of the Sun, leaving a ring-like appearance of the solar surface visible around the edges. Both phenomena provide unique visual experiences, but they differ in the extent of sunlight blockage.
