What makes shadows?
Shadows are caused when an object blocks part of a beam of light that is falling on a surface. The surface areas receiving less light are darker (less illuminated by the light) and may assume the same general shape of the object causing the shadow.
Does colour affect the amount of heat absorbed?
Darker colors are better absorbers of light which makes them better radiators of heats. Object absorb light which is transferred to heat energy.
Which colour clothing absorbs less heat?
Lighter colors reflect the most light. Darker colors absorb more, but all of that absorbed energy doesn't just disappear! Energy never just disappears, but it can change. Light that gets absorbed by clothing becomes heat which is what makes your warmer, so if you want to cool down, wearing a color that reflects a lot of light energy is a good choice.
What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?
While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
Why are shadows usually dark?

How the sun makes shadows?
the sun makes shadows by reflecting of something
Why does heat create a shadow?
The sun produces sharp shadows because it's so far away. The light from the sun is, essentially, all coming from the same direction and the rays are very nearly parallel for objects on the normal human scale.
Are shadows made when light is blocked by an object?
No, a shadow is a concept, like cold, which is the absence of another thing (light for a 'normal' shadows or energy for shadows in general, heat for cold). As such, shadows are not made, but exist in areas absent of energy.
