Filling between to draw

I'm trying to fill an area between to draw lines. I tried a lot of options, but none of them seem to work.

Plot of my current Code

I labeled the areas I need, with the specific colors, to fill. My current Code is:

 documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside]article
 usepackage[utf8]inputenc
 usepackage[ngerman]babel
 usepackageamsmath
 usepackageamsfonts
 usepackageamssymb
 usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,top=25mm, left=40mm, right=25mm, bottom=30mm]geometry
 usepackagefancyhdr
 usepackagecolor
 usepackagethmbox
 usepackagetikz
 usepackagepgfplots
 pgfplotssetcompat=1.11
 usepgfplotslibraryfillbetween
 usetikzlibraryintersections

 begindocument

 begintikzpicture

 fill[color=yellow] (0, 0) circle (2); % Sonne im Ursprung (0, 0)
 shade[right color=lightgray] (7.5, 0) circle (0.5); % Sonne im Ursprung (5, 0)
 shade[shading=ball, ball color=blue] (10, 0) circle (1); % Erde im Ursprung (10, 0)

 draw[dashed, color=red ,shorten >=-1.6cm,shorten <=-0cm,name path = A] (0, 2) --node[near start,sloped,above]textcolorredRandstrahl (7.5, 0.5);
 draw[dashed, color=red ,shorten >=-3cm,shorten <=-0cm] (0, 2) -- (7.5, -0.5);

 draw[dashed, color=red ,shorten >=-1.6cm,shorten <=-0cm,name path = B] (0, -2) -- (7.5, -0.5);
 draw[dashed, color=red ,shorten >=-3cm,shorten <=-0cm] (0, -2) -- (7.5, 0.5);

 endtikzpicture
enddocument

As mentioned, I tried a lot of options. So this is, more or less, a desperate attempt for solving my problem.

Thanks for helping me.

Welcome to TeX.SE! The reason why you really fill the regions between the paths in your picture is that you used shorten >=... with some negative dimensions. Hence the paths are shorter than the dashed lines. I fixed that to make it work. And even though you could do that with the pgfplots library fillbetween, this is not necessary here since you only have straight lines. And I used backgrounds and slightly changed the order in which things get drawn in order not to overwrite your planets.
