The closer you are to the light the smaller the source of light gets, but at the same time the closer you are to the light the stronger the light. the further you are to the light the weaker the light.

∙ 13y agohow big your shadow is depends on where the light source is, how big you are, and what the angle of the platform is that your shadow is projected on.

Is the sun bigger or smaller then the moon?
bigger by alot
Is your sun smaller or bigger than stars in the night sky?
some stars are smaller than sun remaining stars are bigger than sun.
Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?
They are closer to the sun because their orbits are smaller.
Why a planet farther from the sun has a longer period of revolution than a planet closer to the sun?
Because they have a larger distance to cover in their revolution. It's like they have a bigger circle to go around, planets closer have a smaller circle to rotate around.
Why does your shadow grow smaller later in the day?
It doesn't. It grows longer later in the day, because the sun is closer to the horizon, throwing a longer light path toward you, thus making your shadow longer. Did you perchance, mis-write your question?
How can you make a shadow bigger?
If you put your object further backwards your shadow will become bigger but if you put your object more forwards your shadow will become smaller!
Why do shadows become big and small?
Shadows change size because as the the goes on the sun travels round the earth causing the sun to be closer or further away, the closer the sun is to the earth the bigger the Shadow, and vice versa. The Shadow will be at its biggest at around midday.
What is smaller than you at midday and bigger than you late in the afternoon?
A shadow. It is smaller at midday when the sun is directly overhead, and longer in the late afternoon as the sun starts to set.
Why does the moon appear to be as large as the sun when viewed from the earth?
The simple answer is that; it is closer. Thanks to forced perspective, smaller objects that are closer may look as big or even bigger than bigger objects that are farther away.
Why is the sun so much bigger than other stars?
It is not. The other stars seem smaller because they are farther away.
If one plane was flying 500 feet from the ground and another plane was 1000 feet with the sun directly above them which plane would cast a greater shadow?
1000 feet above ground because it's closer to the sun. If you take an object and put it in front of a lamp the closer you put it the bigger the the shadow it will cast

Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?
They are closer to the sun because their orbits are smaller.
How can the moon block the sun even though it is so much smaller than the sun?
The moon is closer too us than the sun. It's like looking at a person along way away and someone close too you. The one closer looks bigger.
Why a planet farther from the sun has a longer period of revolution than a planet closer to the sun?
Because they have a larger distance to cover in their revolution. It's like they have a bigger circle to go around, planets closer have a smaller circle to rotate around.
Is the sun bigger than the red giant and blue star?
No. The sun is smaller than red or blue giants. It appears larger than other stars simply because it is much closer to us.
