40+ Sun Earth Moon Umbra And Penumbra Background. Image subtitle is umbra, penumbra, and antumbra, for a lunar eclipse. The umbra, penumbra and antumbra are three distinct parts of a shadow, created by any light source after impinging on an opaque object.
If the moon passes through the umbra and no part of the moon remains outside the umbra in the partial sunlight of the penumbra, the eclipse is a total lunar eclipse. The umbra of earth's shadow is about 1.4 million km (860,000 mi) long and points directly away from the sun. Distances and sizes are not to scale.
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes partly into the umbra of earth's shadow.
Sun, earth, and moon are not perfectly aligned during a penumbral eclipse. The umbra, penumbra and antumbra are three distinct parts of a shadow, created by any light source after impinging on an opaque object. The solar system is made up of the sun, the planets that orbit the sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. What is the lighter colored shadow created during an eclipse?
