Can earth shadows have only an umbra and not a penumbra?
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.
