Shadow Penumbra Umbra

These shadows cause eclipses When the Earths shadow falls on the moon you get a lunar eclipse. When the Moons shadow falls on the Earth you get a solar eclipse. If you are in the umbra you will see a total eclipse. If you are in the penumbra you will see a partial eclipse. enticehall/ph/eclipse/eclipses.htm
