umbra and penumbra
The umbra in a shadow is the portion where light from a source is completely blocked. This is in the middle of the shadow. The area around this, where light from part, but not all of the source shines is called the penumbra. In the shadow cast by the moon in an eclipse, the penumbra is the partial shadow that occurs before the total eclipse, and the umbra is the 'total eclipse' portion
The umbra is the complete shadow; the penumbra is the partial shadow.Do this experiment. Place two lamps about 2 feet apart. Hold a basketball between the lamps and the wall. Each lamp throws its own shadow on the wall, but if you move the basketball close to the wall, there is a point where both shadows cross. The single shadow is the "penumbra". The combined shadows is the "umbra".
Umbra and penumbra when referred to the moon describes the shadow which is formed when light is blocked from the sun, by the moon. This shadow which falls on the Earth and has two distinct regions; a partially shadowed area which is the penumbra and the centre point a totally dark umbra. We on Earth looking skyward and watching the shadow pass as the Earth revolves would describe the penumbra as a partial eclipse and the umbra as a total eclipse.
Umbra refers to the region of complete shadow that results from the total obstruction of light. An example of umbra in a sentence "In the umbra, the tunnel, when the mind went womb tomb."
