Why does the central part of the shadow or the umbra is darker than the penumbra?
The penumbra is the part of the shadow from which PART but not all of the lightsource is visible, so that region is partly but not fully illuminated.The umbra is the part of the shadow from which NONE of the light source is visible,so that region is not illuminated at all, not even a little.That's why.
What are the terms of umbra and penumbra and how do they relate to eclipses?
Shadows have two parts, the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darker part of the shadow, in which all of the light from the source is blocked by the object casting the shadow. The penumbra, also known as the half-shadow, is the grayish part along the edge of a shadow in which only some of the light from the source is blocked.During a solar eclipse, if you are within the umbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a total eclipse, and if you are within the penumbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a partial eclipse.
What is least darker than the umbra?
The umbra is the darker area of complete shadow, while the penumbra is a lighter area that is only partly shadowed. You can demonstrate this at home. Set up two lamps a couple of feet apart. Hold up a beach ball or sheet of cardboard smaller than the separation, several feet away from the lamps. Each lamp casts light in all directions, and the obstruction casts a shadow - a separate shadow from each lamp. Where both lamps' shadows overlap, this is the umbra. Where one lamp is lighting up the shadowed area from the other lamp, this is the "penumbra".
