A total lunar eclipse.
The path of the earth round the Sun is called the Plane of the Ecliptic, and the Moon revolves round the Earth passing a little above this and a little below this; and occasionally, the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow; thus a Full, or a Partial eclipse.
The Ecliptic Plane is so called because this is where Eclipses of the Moon (or of the Sun) occur.
What else can I help you with?
Which object's shadow travels across part of earth during a solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.
Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
Why is only part of the earth in shadow during a solar eclipse?

What is it called when the moon is exactly between the sun and the earth?
It is a solar eclipse. The Moon passes across the face of the Sun, and blocks out the sunlight for a short period, so casting a shadow on the Earth.
What is path of the Moon's shadow across the earth surface called?
During a total eclipse, it is called the path of totalityAn Eclipse.
What part of the Moon's shadow across the earth's surface is called?
Your question is not quite coherent. See if you can phrase it more clearly.
What travels across the surface of the earth for an eclipse occurs?
(Answered as "What travels across the surface of the Earth when an eclipse occurs?") The shadow of the Moon travels across the Earth during a Solar Eclipse. (During a Lunar Eclipse, the shadow of the Earth travels across the Moon.)
Water flowing downhill across the surface of Earth is called?
Water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth is called runoff.
When the Moon's shadow reaches Earth's surface is called a?
an eclipse.
What is it called when the moon shadow travels across part of earth?
The phenomenon of the moon casting its shadow on Earth is called a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth passes in between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon to move into Earth's shadow.
In what direction does the shadow of the moon move across the earth?
The shadow of the moon moves from west to east across the Earth during a solar eclipse. This occurs because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing the shadow created by the moon to travel in that direction as it crosses the surface. As a result, observers in the path of the eclipse see the shadow move across the landscape in the same west-to-east direction.
What do you call it when a moon casts a shadow on earth?
This is called a solar eclipse as the moon is blocking out the sun from your perspective on Earth. The actual shadow has two parts which both have their own names. The area that is the full shadow where you would witness a total solar eclipse is called the umbra. There is also a larger and less dark shadow that is cast around the umbra called the penumbra. In this area only a partial eclipse would be witnessed.It is a solar eclipse, or an eclipse of the sun. Only a small part of the earth's surface is darkened by the moon's shadow at any moment, and the shadow follows a path across the surface for as long as the earth, moon and sun are aligned closely enough.
