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.
