What is the moon's umbra?
The moon's umbra is the darkest part of its shadow during a lunar or solar eclipse. It is the region where the light from the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon, resulting in total darkness for observers within this area. During a solar eclipse, those located in the umbra experience a total eclipse, while those outside it may see a partial eclipse. The umbra is contrasted with the penumbra, where only a portion of the Sun's light is obscured.
Which type of solar eclipse occurs for the part of the earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow?
A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.
