The moon's shadow during an eclipse consists of two main parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darker, central part of the shadow where the light from the Sun is completely blocked, resulting in a total eclipse. The penumbra, on the other hand, is the lighter, outer part of the shadow where the light is partially obscured, leading to a partial eclipse. Together, these two areas define how the eclipse is experienced from different locations on Earth.
Our moon, Luna, is indeed similar to many other moons even in our own solar system, much less the universe as a whole (which has not really be examined in sufficient detail to enable us to catalog moons in other stellar systems).
Moons have shadows due to the blocking of sunlight by the moon itself when it passes between the sun and another celestial body, such as a planet. This creates a shadow on the surface of the planet or other bodies in space. Additionally, the moon casts a shadow on its own surface during events like lunar eclipses when it enters the Earth's shadow. Shadows on moons can also occur from the light of other celestial bodies being obstructed.
When you are in the moon's shadow during a solar eclipse, it is called the umbra. This is the central, darkest part of the shadow where the sun is completely blocked by the moon. Outside of the umbra is the penumbra, where the sun is only partially blocked, resulting in a partial eclipse.

Solar Eclipse
Your question makes no sense.
When the Earth's shadow hits the Moon that is an eclipse of the Moon. When the Moons shadow hits the earth that is an eclipse of the Sun.

Do you mean Eclipse? The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth-Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its parent planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon.
Earth's shadow is bigger comoared to the moons
It is called a solar eclipse when the Moon's shadow hits Earth, and a lunar eclipse when Earth's shadow hits the Moon.
Since the Moon is quite a bit smaller than Earth, the Moon's shadow can only cover part of Earth's surface. In that case, the people in that shadow will see a solar eclipse.
An eclipse of the Sun.
