The sun produces sharp shadows because it's so far away. The light from the sun is, essentially, all coming from the same direction and the rays are very nearly parallel for objects on the normal human scale.

Sharp shadows are formed when the opaque shadow - making material is much closer to the reflecting (detecting) surface, than to the light source. The common cause of fuzzy edges is the perceived width of the light source.

The sun's "surface" is a 400 km region where the plasma density changes from not allowing light to pass freely, to being thin enough that light can get through.

Where does a mountain range create a rain shadow in what state?

A mountain range can create a rain shadow in the state of Washington. The Olympic Mountains in the western part of the state block moisture-laden air coming from the Pacific Ocean, causing a rain shadow in the region east of the mountains, known as the Olympic Peninsula. This results in drier conditions on the leeward side of the mountains.
