What is the earth is in the moons shadow?
Since the Moon is quite a bit smaller than Earth, the Moon's shadow can only cover part of Earth's surface. In that case, the people in that shadow will see a solar eclipse.
How ecilipse occures?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
What is The lightest part of a shadow called?
I believe you mean the lightest part of Earth's shadow casted upon the moon and the answer to that would be: The lightest part of Earth's shadow upon the moon is called the penumbra. In fact any shadow is divided between that totally blocked (umbra) and partially blocked by the light source (penumbra) so the Penumbra can indeed be the moons partial shadow on the earth during a partial or total solar eclipse
What is the larger part of the moons shadow that's less darker then the umbra?

What is another name for the earth's shadow?

Why does a lunar and solar eclipse all have new and full moons?
-- During a lunar eclipse, the moon is in Earth's shadow. -- During a solar eclipse, a small part of Earth is in the moon's shadow. -- In order for either of these to happen, the Sun, Moon, and Earth must be all lined up. -- New Moon and Full Moon are the phases when Sun, Moon, and Earth are all lined up.

Lunar Eclipse. It happens only when the Moon surpasses a part of the Earth's shadow.
When a moon cast a shadow on part of the earth?
It is called a solar eclipse. And when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon, it is called a lunar eclipse.
Why does earth's shadow often covers the entire moon during a lunar eclipse but only only a small part of the moon's shadow during a solar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall directly on the Moon. The Earth's shadow is large enough to cover the entire Moon due to its size and the distance between the Earth and Moon. Conversely, during a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, casting a smaller shadow on the Earth. The Moon’s shadow is much smaller because it is significantly smaller in size compared to the Earth, leading to only a partial coverage of the Earth's surface.
