How does the surface behind a shadow affect the shape and size of an shadow?

If the shadow is on a convex surface, it will be bigger. On a concave surface it will be smaller. If the light source is at a low angle to the opaque object causing the shadow (e.g. you're casting a shadow from a flashlight behind you, to a sidewalk in front), the shadow will be relatively tall. If the angle of the light is high (e.g. sun nearly overhead), the shadow will be short. This will also depend on the angle of the shaded surface.

Does the shape of a cell affect the surface area?
Yes.
What is the physics behind a colored shadow?
A shadow is an absence of light from a point-source because it has been blocked by an object. The object's shape is projected on to the ground, wall or other surface. There might be light from another source illuminating the part that is shadowed, and that might be coloured.

What S is a dark image or shape cast on a surface by the interception of light rays by an opaque body?
Shadow.
How does the shape surface area and volume affect how fast magma cools?
The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.
Does the shape of a 1-liter tank affect the amount of time needed to cool it?
Yes, since the shape will affect the surface to volume (1 litre) ratio.
How do you put a shadow in fireworks?
Well, if you are looking for a person shape, simply place a baby into the fireworks placing a white burning metal such as copper behind it so when it lights up behind the baby, it will produce a great shadow in the smoke and dust

How does the surface area of an object affect the free-fall time?
Aerodynamic drag, depends on size, surface texture and shape. The force behind it = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Why does the moon cange it's shape?
The moon's shape remains the same at all times. The aspect of the moon changes because the shadow moves across its surface as it revolves around the earth.
