What is the process of one body in space blocking light from another one?

When the moon blocks the sun's light, or the Earth blocks the light from the sun that strikes the moon, it's called an eclipse. For an arbitrary body passing in front of another one, the term astronomers usually use is "occultation".

e.g: A solar eclipse is when Moon blocks the Sun.
Astronomically it is also known as an "occultation" or being hidden. The entire event itself is called an eclipse. The shadow cast by the heavenly body is called a penumbra.

that's a "lunar eclipse".
-- When the Moon blocks the sun's light from shining on a small part
of the Earth, that's a "solar eclipse".
-- When anything else blocks our view of anything else ... like Venus
temporarily passing in front of a star, that's an "occultation".

Does light occupy space?
no
Was the Apollo space programme name after the greek god of light?
It symbolizes that the Apollo program, being named for the Greek god of light, is shedding light in the dark of space.
What is Pleiadian Space Ship?
The Pleiadian Space Ship is built by human extraterrestrials from the planet Erra in the Taygeta Star System which is part of the Pleiades Constellation. Erra is 440 light years from earth. The space ship is built with a magnetic propulsion engine which is able to bend space and time and travel faster than a billion miles a second. They discovered they can travel in another dimension which is faster than the speed of light.
What color is deep space?
Deep space, or any "space", has no color...it is a vacuum, devoid of any light.
Does light create a shadow in the vacuum of outer space like it does on the earth?
Shadows are caused by something BLOCKING the light. You can have shadows in space, if something is blocking the light. On Earth, shadows often look fuzzy; this is caused by the Sun's light being scattered in the air. In space, there is nothing to scatter the light, so shadows are sharp-edged and clear.
What is another phrase for natural light?
Daylighting is a term used to describe maximising natural light in a space.
What is an ecplise?
An eclipse is when a object in space is fully or partially blocked from view temporarily by another object or its shadow. The term is typically used to refer to the moon blocking the sun, a solar eclipse, or the Earth's shadow blocking the moon, a lunar eclipse.
How light are you in outer space?
0 Kilograms since there is no gravity in outer space. Except you are near an another star
Why can a telescope see farther into space from space than one on Earth?
The Earth's atmosphere creates distortion and acts as a filter to prevent a perfectly clear view of space. Outside our atmosphere, there is nothing blocking the view. That and there is less light from cities and stuff to interfere with the telescope.
Why can astronauts not hear one another when traveling in space?
The light waves they reflect travel through empty space but sound waves do not.

What is needed to drive all life process?

Is it true that when light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?
It is true that light will change direction when going from one medium to another (such as going through space to going through air. Further, different wavelengths of light (different colors) will change at different angles; this is why a prism works and why the sky is blue. However, this process is called refraction, not reflection.
How does food and oxygen travel around around your body?
A shadow is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object. It occupies all of the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or reverse projection of the object blocking the light.
