It's hard to show without using a diagram (and I can't post one sorry), but the answer is No. Try this. Draw two circles of different sizes for the Sun and Earth (the smaller one). Draw a line from the top of the Sun to the top of the Earth and extend it beyond the Earth. Now draw a line form the bottom of the Sun to the bottom of the Earth and extend it. Those two lines will intersect and form a triangle (with a rounded base of the Earth). This is the Umbra.
Now draw a line form the top of the Sun to the bottom of the earth and extend it. Draw another line form the bottom of the Sun to the top of the Earth and extend it. This will form an open-ended shape. This is the umbra. As Hilmar said above, the umbra and penumbra form because the Sun is not a point source.
your shadow
They are the penumbra (think of a large circle) and the umbra (think of a small, darker circle in the center of the large circle). People who have the penumbra only pass over them see a partial eclipse. People who have the umbra pass over them see a total eclipse.
The umbra of a moon is the completely shaded, or hidden from light, part of the moon. The penumbra of a moon is the part that is only partially hidden, or shaded from light. The antumbra is completely in the light, and no shadows are cast upon it.
The umbra in a shadow is the portion where light from a source is completely blocked. This is in the middle of the shadow. The area around this, where light from part, but not all of the source shines is called the penumbra. In the shadow cast by the moon in an eclipse, the penumbra is the partial shadow that occurs before the total eclipse, and the umbra is the 'total eclipse' portion
It Rotates, and is called penumbra

I think you are asking what is the lighter part of the Earth's shadow on the Moon that surrounds the darkest part. The penumbra is this lighter part of the shadow. The darkest part is the umbra.
In the context of light and shadow, there are three main types of shadows: umbra, penumbra, and antumbra. The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow where all light is blocked, the penumbra is a partially shaded region surrounding the umbra, and the antumbra is the shadow's outermost region where the light source is only partially blocked. These distinctions are important in understanding the behavior of shadows in various lighting conditions.
Actually the earth's shadow has both. This is caused by the sun, not the earth. The umbra is the dark shadow produced when the sunlight is totally blocked. The penumbra is the partially lit shadow produced because the sun is not a point light source.
Shadows have two parts, the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darker part of the shadow, in which all of the light from the source is blocked by the object casting the shadow. The penumbra, also known as the half-shadow, is the grayish part along the edge of a shadow in which only some of the light from the source is blocked.During a solar eclipse, if you are within the umbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a total eclipse, and if you are within the penumbra of the moon's shadow, you are witnessing a partial eclipse.
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.
The penumbra is the part of the shadow from which part but not all of the source is visible. If the source itself is a point source, then either you can see it or you can't, and there's no such thing as "part but not all" of it, so there's no penumbra.
The umbra of a moon is the completely shaded, or hidden from light, part of the moon. The penumbra of a moon is the part that is only partially hidden, or shaded from light. The antumbra is completely in the light, and no shadows are cast upon it.
The umbra in a shadow is the portion where light from a source is completely blocked. This is in the middle of the shadow. The area around this, where light from part, but not all of the source shines is called the penumbra. In the shadow cast by the moon in an eclipse, the penumbra is the partial shadow that occurs before the total eclipse, and the umbra is the 'total eclipse' portion
During the eclipse, the penumbra is the outer part of the shadow where only partial sunlight is blocked.
nearby areas that are in the penumbra experiences a partial eclipse. a partial eclipse also occurs when the umbra completely misses earth and only the penumbra passes over.
