The darkest part of a shadow is called the "umbra"
The lighter part of a shadow is called the "penumbra"
An "antumbra" is the area of light which surrounds the object creating a shadow, as in a "ring of fire" eclipse (like the recent one in May, 2012). It can best be seen when the viewer is beyond the focal point of the umbra, but in line with it.
The darkest part of a shadow is the part that is closest to the object casting the shadow.
The darkest part of a shadow is called the umbra.
A shadow in an area where light from any light source cannot reach reach because of an blocking of an object.

I think you are asking what is the lighter part of the Earth's shadow on the Moon that surrounds the darkest part. The penumbra is this lighter part of the shadow. The darkest part is the umbra.
There are two parts to the Earth's shadow. The dark narrower part is the Umbra (from Latin for shadow). The lighter part is called the Penumbra (from Latin, pane umbra - almost a shadow)

the shadow of the sundial is just called a shadow
There are two parts of a shadow: the UMBRA and the PENUMBRA. UMBRA is the inner darker part of a shadow. PENUBMRA is the outher lighter layer of a shadow. During a solar eclipse, the area on the planet that witnesses a complete total solar eclipse would be under the moon's shadow's UMBRA. The area that views a partial solar eclipse would be under the PENUMBRAL shadow.
You must complete the first stage in Shadow mode, and one will be unlocked after you complete the previous one.
The shadow is grey but not complete black as that of opaque object.

The darker complete shadow is the "umbra". The lighter partial shadow is the penumbra.
The darker total shadow is called the "umbra"; the lighter, partial shadow is called the "penumbra".
No, but there is a book called "The Shadow Of The Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
The darkest, "total" shadow is called the "umbra", while the partial shadow is called the "penumbra", from the latin prefix "pen" meaning "almost".
