It has something to do with what light happens to be around that person at the time. If there happens to be a bright light shining on an object, that object's 'shadow' will cast itself on whatever is around it.

More simply, the "something" is the object blocking the direct light from the source. The air scatters the light so the shadow is not very dark - on the air-less Moon a shadow is fully dark.
