Why do we have shadow?
Shadows are caused when an object is blocking the light causing the shape to appear on the ground in the opposite direction of the source of the light. A shadow only appears in the light or when any shining object faces them. All objects in the way of the light will appear with a shadow in the opposite direction of the source of the light.

How does the position of the sun in the sky relate to the length of the shadow cast by an object?
The position of the sun relates to the length of the shadow cast by an object because, when the sun is above the object there is no shadow yet, when the sun is say to the east of the object a shadow is cast towards the west, the farther the sun for example east the longer the shadow will be towards the west.

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.
