There are two terms for silence in music. When there is a set time of silence- a single beat, a measure, or ten measures, etc- that is called a "rest". when there is a time of silence in a piece of music that isn't restrained to a set time that could be either a "rest fermata" or a "grand pause". A rest fermata will have the symbol place over a rest.
