Why does a shadow form behind an object when light shines on it?
Because a shadow forms behind an object when a light source shines on it. This happens because the object is solid and light can not travel through the solid object. The light that travels around the object reflects back up and the area that is not reflecting looks darker. That's why! Did this help you?
How do the effects of gravity show that earth is almost spherical?
Proof of earth's shape is that earth casts a curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse. Something flat like a book casts a straight shadow whereas objects with curved surfaces casts curved shadows.
What is a example solid object with no shadow?
Trick question or a question asked by someone who doesn't truly understand the issue. One can say that colorless polished glass or clear plastic has no shadow. Probably the answer your teacher is seeking. But this is not true. Even glass is not perfectly transparent and casts a small shadow. Perhaps a shadow barely perceptible to the human eye, but it is there. It is possible to have a luminous solid object emit the exact amount of light to cancel its shadow, but this isn't really having no shadow, is it? Your teacher will not like this answer. If we REALLY want to confuse them, we can speak of metamaterials.
How does a shadow clock work?
A shadow clock, or sundial, tells the time of day using the position of the Sun. The sun casts a shadow from the sundial's style onto a marked surface of hours.
What happens when light interacts with a translucent material?
The light energy is scattered, creating a diffuse glow that seldom casts clear shadows, because the light is coming from several different angles, over a wide area of the material.

Why does the triangle tower have no shadow?
Everything has a shadow. I think maybe because the shadow is cast upon it's self. Every object that stands in light casts a shadow, unless that object is light (produces light). A light bulb illuminated on a sunny day,has no shadow of the illumined parts. A flashlight in the sun light is a waste, a flame from a lighter on a sunny day is almost invisible. If an object casts no shadow, then, that object is light. I like to describe it as, (concerning people) a humble person casts no shadow.
Why are shadows made bigger when moving only the torchlight?
It is due to the angle and position of the torchlight relative to the object casting the shadow. The nearer the torchlight is to the object, the bigger the shadow that the object casts.
What feature on the moon casts dark shadows?

Why do shadows occur?
Because the sun casts light on something and the object, if solid, blocks off a portion of the light, causing an area free of the light known as a shadow.
What is the height of a flagpole that casts a 40 foot shadow?
To calculate that, you'd need to know the angle of the light source or the time of day or have some other object to compare it to.
Does a street sign cast a shadow because light is shining on it at an angle?
An object casts a shadow whenever it is illuminated. It really has nothing to do with the angle. Regardless of the angle, it will cast a shadow. The LENGTH of the shadow it casts, however, is dependent upon the angle at which the light strikes the object. A stop sign will cast a very narrow shadow when the sun is directly overhead, for example, but will cast a very long one at sunrise or sunset.
