When a penumbra and antumbra hit the Earth during an eclipse, they create different shadow effects. The penumbra is the outer part of the shadow where only a portion of the light is blocked, resulting in a partial eclipse. In contrast, the antumbra is the area where the light source is only partially obscured, leading to an annular eclipse, where a ring of light remains visible around the moon. Observers within these regions experience varying degrees of darkness and light during the event.
