It provides the light seen around the Moon, in a solar eclipse. It provides the light the Earth blocks out, during a lunar eclipse. Light leaks around the Earth, in a lunar eclipse.

How do different types of materials affect shadows?

Different types of materials affect shadows based on their transparency, opacity, and texture. Transparent materials tend to cast sharp and distinct shadows, while opaque materials create more defined and darker shadows. Textured materials can create interesting patterns and diffused shadows. Light absorption and reflection properties of materials also play a role in shaping the shadows they produce.
