Why does the shadow change?
Due how close/far are from the light source
When does a shadow form?
A shadow forms whenever there is a source of light and something opaque that stands in front of the light.
When the light is close to an object is the shadow small are big?
When the light source is close to the object, the shadow tends to be smaller because the light is more focused and doesn't spread out as much. As the distance between the object and the light source increases, the shadow becomes larger because the light rays spread out more, creating a bigger shadow.

What is an analogy for near?
An analogy for "near" could be "like a shadow following the sun." Just as a shadow remains close to its source of light, something that is near is in close proximity to another object or point. This comparison highlights the idea of closeness and immediate presence.
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.
Why do shadows get bigger when close to a light source?
Shadows appear larger when close to a light source because the angle of the light rays hitting the object is more spread out, creating a larger shadow. As the distance between the object and light source decreases, the shadow becomes more elongated or enlarged due to the increased divergence of the light rays.
Why is your shadow sometimes in front of you and sometimes. behind you?
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.
Can a shadow be smaller than the object?
Yes, a shadow can be smaller than the object casting it. This can happen when the light source is very close to the object or when the object is very close to the surface on which the shadow is cast. The size of the shadow is determined by the angle of the light rays hitting the object and the distance between the object and the surface.
What is the size of the shadow and the distance of the object from the light source when a shadow is formed?
If you are using a point light source, the shadow's size is the object's size divided by the distance from the light source to the object multiplied by the distance from the light source to the shadow.
What do you know about shadow?
Shadow is a region of decreased illumination, caused by the interception of light coming from a point source (or something resembling a point source) by an opaque object.
When light hits something opaque we get a shadow so why do we have almost no shadow when the sun is high and there seems to be more light?
Because the Shadow is also dependent on the angle of the light source compared to the opaque object.
