The true shadow where the celestial body completely blocks the light source (such as a total eclipse of the sun as viewed from Earth) is called the umbra. The partial shadow, for example if only a part of the limb of the body blocks the sun (like a partial solar eclipse) is called the penumbra.

What is a eclips?
An eclipse is a celestial event where one astronomical body passes through the shadow of another body, causing a temporary dimming or blocking of the light. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon blocks the Sun's light, while lunar eclipses occur when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon.
Why do moon have shadows?
Moons have shadows due to the blocking of sunlight by the moon itself when it passes between the sun and another celestial body, such as a planet. This creates a shadow on the surface of the planet or other bodies in space. Additionally, the moon casts a shadow on its own surface during events like lunar eclipses when it enters the Earth's shadow. Shadows on moons can also occur from the light of other celestial bodies being obstructed.
Who was the first man to step on another planet?

When the shadow of one celestrial body interrupts the view of another the phenomenon is a?
The phenomenon is called an eclipse. When the shadow of one celestial body falls on another, it can result in solar or lunar eclipses, depending on the positioning of the bodies.

When the shadow of one celestial body blocks the view of another the event is called a?
When the shadow of one celestial body blocks the view of another, the event is called an eclipse. In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring the Sun's light. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. These phenomena can create stunning visual displays in the sky.
Which is the darker shadow cast by a celestial body?
The darker total shadow is called the "umbra"; the lighter, partial shadow is called the "penumbra".

What is the difference between an eclipse and a transit?
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another, like a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun. A transit is when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger body, like the transit of Mercury or Venus across the face of the Sun.

shadows are formed when opaque bodies obstruct the path of light.When light falls on an opaque body it does not allow light to pass hence light falls behind it in the surrounding regions and a shadow is formed
What the causes eclispe?
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another body or when they align in a way that one blocks the light from the other. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Conversely, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to cover the Moon. These events are contingent on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
