Okay, before we get too metaphysical or occult- a Shadow can ONLY exist if therfe is some available light, sun or moon, artificial light, etc. In absolute darkness a shadow cannot exist! I used this angle to disprove an old family story about a woman who was walking home one night near the Armory ( In Jersey City) and seemed to have an encounter with a moving shadow of the Stuyvesant statue! First of all the Sturyvesant statue, peg leg and all, is not that near the Armory, second , if it was a really dark night, as it was in the story, a shadow would not show. For the same reason Sun dials ( which indicate by a shadow) do not work in overcast days- bad weather or cloudy like now as I am typing this- and of course not at night but could reflect moonlight. No light, no shadow. so it goes.

Is a shadow formed by light trying to through a solid object?
A shadow is formed when the light can not pass through the object, so a patch of darkness is left behind the object where not much light can reach.This is because the light is either absorbed or reflected by the object.However, some light often still reaches shadowed areas because light is reflected off of other objects nearby, onto the shadow. This is why shadows are not always 100% darkness.
