The shadow usually has three distinct parts called the umbra, penumbra, and antumbra, the terms most commonly used in reference to the shadows cast by celestial bodies. The terms can also be used to describe the levels of darkness in sunspots. The umbra (Latin for “shadow”) is the innermost, darkest part of the shadow. The penumbra (“almost shadow”, from the Latin) is the lighter part of the shadow, where part of the light source “leaks” around the body, casting the shadow.
