A total lunar eclipse.
The path of the earth round the Sun is called the Plane of the Ecliptic, and the Moon revolves round the Earth passing a little above this and a little below this; and occasionally, the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow; thus a Full, or a Partial eclipse.
The Ecliptic Plane is so called because this is where Eclipses of the Moon (or of the Sun) occur.

reaches the earth's surface. If you happen to be within that small area, then
you see a total solar eclipse.

What do you call it when a moon casts a shadow on earth?
This is called a solar eclipse as the moon is blocking out the sun from your perspective on Earth. The actual shadow has two parts which both have their own names. The area that is the full shadow where you would witness a total solar eclipse is called the umbra. There is also a larger and less dark shadow that is cast around the umbra called the penumbra. In this area only a partial eclipse would be witnessed.It is a solar eclipse, or an eclipse of the sun. Only a small part of the earth's surface is darkened by the moon's shadow at any moment, and the shadow follows a path across the surface for as long as the earth, moon and sun are aligned closely enough.
