Correct - a shadows are the places where the light from a light source cannot reach because an opaque object is blocking the light's path.
Darkness is not the opposite of light, but rather an absense of it. Light is energy. For example, the Fahrenheit scale does not continue into the negative numbers forever. There is actually another scale besides the Celsius scale called the Kelvin scale. In Kelvin, there are no negative degrees. The lowest degree is 0, which means there is absolutely no energy (On a side note, 0 degrees Kelvin is impossible to reach, but scientists have come very close to it).

Is light similar to a shadow?
No, light and shadow are not similar. Light is electromagnetic radiation that illuminates objects and creates shadows when it is blocked by an object. Shadow is the area where light is blocked by an object, resulting in a darker area behind the object.
Why are shadows cast on the ground?
A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.
What Three things we need to have a shadow?
In order to have a shadow, you need a source of light, an object to block that light, and a surface on which the shadow is cast. When light is obstructed by an object, it creates a shadow on the surface opposite the light source.
What direction does the shadow point at night under a street light?
The shadow of an object under a street light will point away from the light source, opposite to where the light is coming from. This is because the light source casts the object's shadow in the direction opposite to its position.
Why is the colour of the shadow black?
A shadow is the absence of light. W/o light, what you get is black, or darkness.
When you place something close to a light source will it make a big shadow or a small shadow?
The closer an object is to a source of light the larger the shadow it will cast.
Is light similar to a shadow?
No, light and shadow are not similar. Light is electromagnetic radiation that illuminates objects and creates shadows when it is blocked by an object. Shadow is the area where light is blocked by an object, resulting in a darker area behind the object.
Why is a shadow always on the opposite side of the light source?
Your shadow will fall in the direction opposite the source of light - with you between the light source and the shadow. The direction of your shadow relative to you will depend on what direction you are facing.If you are facing toward the light source, the shadow will be behind you.If you are facing away from the light source, it will be in front of you.If you have the light source to your right, the shadow will be to your left.If you have the light source to your left, the shadow will be to your right.If the light source is directly above you, the shadow will be directly under you.If you move past a light source, your shadow will move from behind you to beside you and then to in front of you.
How do you make a shadow with the light bulb?
To make a shadow with a light bulb, you can place an object between the light source (light bulb) and a surface (wall or table). The object will block the light, creating a shadow on the surface opposite to the light source. Adjust the distance and direction of the light bulb to change the size and shape of the shadow.

How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.

What is a shadow and what is it formed of?
In short, nothing. A shadow is a dark area within a brighter area. It doesn´t have any substance as it is just a place where light is not falling as its being blocked by somthing. A shadow can be thought of as an opposite to a rainbow which is made by light shining on a specific place. Both have no substance but seem to be solid and can appear to move.
Does the light of the moon cause a physical shadow?
A shadow is caused when there is less light or no light in an area. An object can block the light and thereby cause a shadow. If the light reflecting off the moon is a source of light, objects blocking this light can cause a shadow.
