How does the umbra and peumbra relate to eclipses?

During an eclipse, the terms umbra and penumbra refer to the different shadow regions created by one celestial body obscuring another. The umbra is the innermost, darkest part of the shadow where the light source is completely blocked, leading to a total eclipse.
