Answer 1

During a lunar eclipse, the moon can become either partially or entirely dark. The outer, or umbral, shadow is an area when the Earth blocks some of the sun's rays.

Note: The correct terminology is that the dark area is called the umbra, while the outer shadow is called the penumbra. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the umbra, while during a partial lunar eclipse, it only passes through the penumbra.
