Question
an event in which the shadow of one celestial object falls on another celestial object
umbra
penumbra
eclipse
solar eclipse
An eclipse is defined as an event where the shadow of one celestial object falls on another. The term "umbra" refers to the darkest part of a shadow, "penumbra" is the lighter part of a shadow, and "solar eclipse" is a specific type of eclipse involving the Sun. Since the question is about the general event (not a specific type like solar) and the definitions of umbra and penumbra are about parts of a shadow (not the event itself), "eclipse" fits best.
