Only one side of the continent is connected with other continent and all other side is surrounded by water. In the west, they are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. South is Mediterranean Sea and North is Arctic Ocean. There are also peninsula in Europe like Italy, the Spain-Portugal, and the Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland), and I think that is why those are called peninsula of the peninsula.

The penumbra of a lunar eclipse means "almost a shadow" compared with the umbra which is the full shadow. Penultimate means almost the ultimate.
