It's not often that we get a chance to see our planet's shadow, but a lunar eclipse gives us a fleeting glimpse. During these rare events, the full Moon rapidly darkens and then glows red as it enters the Earth's shadow. Though a lunar eclipse can be seen only at night, it's worth staying up to catch the show.

What's the difference between and umbra and penumbra?

# data[].attributes.body
These are two parts of all shadows.    The umbra is the area of a shadow where all of the light blocked by an object.  The penumbra is the area where not all of the light is blocked, only part of it.  There is a third part known as the antumbra.  This is where all of the object that casts the shadow appears to entirely block the light source leaving only a ring of light around the object creating the shadow.

Why are the sun's rays so much more dangerous during an eclipse

# data[].attributes.body
The sun's rays are always dangerous. Normally our body reacts by blinking and dilating our pupils. During an eclipse, our body does not react to the sun's rays the same because it is tricked by the sun being covered.

Why is there a difference between an umbra and a penumbra?

# data[].attributes.subject
Why is there a difference between an umbra and a penumbra?

# data[].attributes.body
The sun is not a point light source.  The light from the sun travels in all directions.  This means that at the outside of a shadow, some light still shows.  An object cannot block 100% of the light. This causes the outsides of a shadow to appear lighter than the center of the shadow. Creating an umbra (dark center)and penumbra (light edges)

Well, the short answer is that they don’t happen all that often and when they do, they’ve visible from only a small bit of Earth. Joss Fong elaborates in a video for Vox.

The next total solar eclipse to visit the US will be in 2024. If an eclipse happens to come to your town, you’re lucky. Any given location will see a total solar eclipse only once in more than 300 years, on average. The vast majority of us will have to travel to an eclipse path if we want to see a total eclipse in our lifetimes
