because light may be hitting it from many different areas or views.

Is that possible to form two shadows of the same object?

Yes, it is possible for an object to cast several shadows. One example, is that of a footballer on a floodlit pitch. If he is in the central region of the field, you will usually see four shadows: one from each of the corner floodlights.


Why do you see shadows?

We see shadows when an object is blocking light. The shadow isformed because light can get around it, so you just see the outline.


Can shadows reflect light?

No, shadows are created when an object blocks light, preventing it from reaching a surface. Shadows do not reflect light; they are the absence of light in a particular area where an object is blocking it.


Can you see shadows on wet mud?

sometimes it depends on the light.


When light falls on an object which side do shadows fall?

The shadow will fall on the opposite side that the light hit the object. Assuming that the object is a solid object that you cannot see through, there would be no light on the other side, hence causing the shadow.


What happens when you move the torch closer to an object?

When you move a torch closer to an object, the object will appear brighter as more light is reflected off of it. The light will illuminate more details and shadows of the object, making it easier to see. The intensity of the light hitting the object will increase, enhancing its visibility.


What is the difference between a shadow of an object created by a small light source and the sun?

Shadow from light source always bigger than object but shadow from the sun is the same size as object. Great different is due to the distance of light source. Size of shadow is double at distance x 2 source to object. Shadow is always bigger than object. You will notice your shadow is bigger in light bulb or stadium spot light but the shadow from sun is the same size as object. This is due to great distance from sun to us (150 million km approximately) the double distance to see our shadow to be double is at 300 million km from the Sun. at merely 10 m or 100 km is almost no distinguishable different in shadow size to the object. We then presume shadow cause from sunlight is equal to the size of the object.


When do you see shadows?

For groundhog's day, you typically see shadows when the sun hits against your back and then the shadow shows up. I'm not sure how on Groundhog's Day a groundhog sees his shadow. I guess if it does see it, it does!


Are shadows 2D or 3D?

Shadows are 2D because you cannot see the depth of a shadow.


Is shadow always black?

If Shadow is a horse, then no. Shadow may be white or brown. Else, if you are referring to a shadow produced by blocking out light with an object, then yes. When we do not see light, our view is in black. All other colours that we see are produced from light. Since shadows are created by excluding light from an object, we should only see black.


How can you see shadow with the light on?

Shadows are created when an object blocks light from reaching a surface. Even with a light source present, an object placed between the light source and a surface will block some of the light and create a shadow on the surface behind it.


Are there any places that do not have any shadows?
