The lighter outer part of a shadow during an eclipse is called the penumbra. In this region, only a portion of the light source is obscured, allowing some light to reach the area, resulting in a partial shadow. This contrasts with the darker central area known as the umbra, where the light source is completely blocked. As a result, observers in the penumbra experience a partial eclipse.
The shadow cast by the moon during a solar eclipse consists of two parts: the inner part, called the umbra, where the sun is completely blocked out, and the outer part, called the penumbra, where the sun is only partially obscured. The umbra creates the darkest part of the eclipse known as totality, while the penumbra creates a partial eclipse effect.
The Penumbra
It is called a solar eclipse. And when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon, it is called a lunar eclipse.

It is called the eclipse
An eclipse shadow consists of two main parts: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the inner, darker part of the shadow where the light from the source (like the Sun) is completely blocked, resulting in a total eclipse. The penumbra is the outer, lighter part where only a portion of the light is obscured, leading to a partial eclipse.
eclipse
when the moon is covering the sun completely it is called a "total solar eclipse", when it is covering part of it it is just called "solar eclipse" .
The outer part
Corona
The outer skin is called the rind. The inner white material is called the pith.
