This is the definition of an eclipse. If the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a direct line, the shadow of the Moon can fall on the Earth, or the shadow of the Earth can fall on the Moon.
When the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth, it creates a moving shadow region called a solar eclipse. If the shadow is not directly aligned, it can create a "partial solar eclipse", which also occurs in the adjacent regions to either side of the complete shadow path during a total solar eclipse.
When the Earth partially darkens the Moon, it is called a lunar eclipse. The sunlight is refracted by Earth's atmosphere, allowing some light to still reach the Moon, giving it a reddish color. An eclipse that does not cover the entire lunar face is called a "partial lunar eclipse".
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
The path is the orbit
The partial or total blocking of one object in space by another is known as an "occultation" when referring to celestial bodies. This phenomenon occurs when one object passes in front of another from the observer's perspective, temporarily obscuring it. For example, a planet may occult a star, making the star temporarily invisible. Such events are valuable for astronomers as they can reveal information about the objects involved, such as their size and atmosphere.
What is a large round object that movies around a star such as the sun
In space, objects can orbit around another object due to gravitational forces. The orbiting object moves around the central object in a curved path, which can appear as though it is "circling around" the central object. This circular motion is a result of the balance between the speed of the orbiting object and the gravitational force pulling it towards the central object.
Displacement occurs when an object changes its position from one point to another. It is characterized by the straight line between the initial and final positions the object occupies in space. Displacement is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.
It is called an eclipse.
The term for when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced is "gravitational equilibrium." This occurs when the gravitational force pulling inward is exactly counteracted by an outward force, such as pressure from internal fusion reactions in stars.

A shadow cast on one object in space on another is ECLIPSE
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
An object orbits another object due to gravity, which is the force of attraction between the two objects. The orbital motion is a result of the balance between the object's inertia wanting to move straight and the gravitational pull pulling it in a curved path.
Any object that revolves around another object in space is called a satilite.
