what is a penumbra solar eclipse?

Hi there!

Your answer is:

In a solar eclipse, we see two types of shadows. One is the "umbra" or the darkest shadow caused by the sun. It's located in the center.

The "penumbra" in a solar eclipse is the shadow that's lighter and located on the sides of the earth. Think about it like this:

The sun and earth are in line. The darkest shadow will continue in that line. That is the umbra. The penumbra continues directly on the outside of the umbra. It's lighter that the other shadow!

A penumbra solar eclipse is when the sun, moon, and earth DONT align properly. This causes a partial eclipse, not a full eclipse. A penumbra solar eclipse is a Partial solar eclipse.

Hope this helps! To be clear, none of this is copied. This is based off of my previous knowledge on the subject and interest in phenomena such as these!

the answer is d.) potassium
