What is The lightest part of a shadow called?
I believe you mean the lightest part of Earth's shadow casted upon the moon and the answer to that would be: The lightest part of Earth's shadow upon the moon is called the penumbra. In fact any shadow is divided between that totally blocked (umbra) and partially blocked by the light source (penumbra) so the Penumbra can indeed be the moons partial shadow on the earth during a partial or total solar eclipse

To see Earth's shadow on Earth, you would need to be at a high vantage point during a time when the sun is low on the horizon, such as at sunrise or sunset.

How did ancient civilization use a stick in the ground to find the direction north?
Ancient civilizations often used a stick, or gnomon, placed vertically in the ground to determine direction through the shadows it cast. By observing the position and length of the shadow at different times of the day, they could discern the cardinal directions. Specifically, the shadow would point towards true north around noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This method, known as sundial or shadow stick navigation, was a practical way to orient themselves using the sun's movement.
What time would a shadow be at its longest?
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox.
