Concept
The penumbra is the partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an opaque object, where the light source is only partially blocked. It is crucial in understanding phenomena such as eclipses, where it defines the area of partial illumination between the umbra, the darkest part of the shadow, and full light.
