A shadow cone is the cone-shaped region of darkness that extends behind an astronomical body when it blocks light from a larger source, such as the Sun. Because the Sun has a measurable size rather than being a single point of light, the edges of the shadow converge through space, creating regions known as the umbra and penumbra. During an eclipse, another celestial body can pass through these regions, producing partial or total darkness depending on its position.
