What do you call the occurrence where the earth and moon pass within the shadow of the each other?

When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.


Why is the moons shadow cast on earth during a solar eclipse?

This is not really a "why" sort of question.The moon has a shadow, because it's a solid opaque object.The moon's shadow sometimes falls on the Earth, because the Earth, Moon, and Sun are sometimes arranged so that that can happen.When that happens, we call it a solar eclipse. We could call it a mumblefrazz instead, and then I suppose you'd be asking why the moon's shadow was cast on Earth during a mumblefrazz.If the moon were smaller, or further away, its shadow would never fall on the earth (technically, its penumbra or anteumbra still would, but its umbra would not) and we'd never experience total mumblefrazzes.

What do you call it when we are in the moons shadow?

When we are in the Moon's shadow, it is called a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth. This phenomenon can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.
