Here are two examples that should make it clearer for you:

If I'm standing behind a wall that comes up to my belt then I'm in partial cover. You cannot target me below the belt (because that part of my body is blocked by the wall) and because there is less of me to target then you attack me at -2.

If I'm standing behind a thin bush then I'm in partial cover. You can see that I'm there but you can't target specific parts of me. Because of the shifting shadows and leaves (is it him or is it just a shadow?) then you attack me at -2.
