How are shadows formed give two reasons?
shadows are formed when light is obstructed by an opaque body. Shadows resemble shape but not necessarily the size of the object
How do shadows change size?
when the distance between the light source and the object changes
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.
How do shadows appear?
Shadows appear because a light source is blocked by an object. For example, by standing outside on a sunny day, a person's body obstructs the sun's path of light and thus is unable to allow the light source to pass through, causing a 'dark spot' on the ground in the shape of their body.
Do shadows change with light?

What causes shadows to change size and direction during a day?
The angle of the earth to the sun changes the direction and size of shadows during the day. Since the earth rotates giving us night and day, the angle at which the suns light is hitting the earth(and you) determine the size/shape of the shadow
Why does the moon appear bright?
It is the reflection from the sun, that is why it changes it's shape, because the sun moves around causing shadows
What changes shape and get its light from the sun and starts with m?

The moon never changes shape only the light you can see.
