There are actually three identified shadow regions in an eclipse; Umbra, penumbra, and antumbra.
The umbra is the region where the light is totally obscured.
The penumbra (partially shadowed) is the region of partial eclipse - the light is diminished, but not totally.
The antumbra is that rather more distant region in the Umbra, where the light source may be perceived as a circle. A lesser known term.

When does the earth's shadow fall on the moon?
The earth's shadow falls on the moon only during a lunar eclipse. Eclipses of the moon can have varying degrees of totality.

The moon's regular phases are NOT caused by earth's shadow on the moon, as is incorrectly believed by some.
