because there is no light for it to reflect off
When the shadow is cast on another object it is called an eclipse.
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.
To cast a shadow, three things are needed: a source of light, an object to block the light, and a surface for the shadow to be projected onto.

Yes, the shadow is longer behind an object, as it is cast by the object blocking the light source. The length of the shadow will depend on the angle and position of the light source in relation to the object.
How do you see a luminous object?

A shadow cast on one object in space on another is ECLIPSE

because there is no light reflecting off of the non-luminous object into your eyes to let you see it.

sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.
yes it dose cast a shadow because you can not see through it.
Yes, as long as it is in the right position of a light, it will reflect a shadow. Even if it is glass it will show a light shade of a shadow :)
A shadow is formed in the opposite direction of the light source. For example, when the light source is behind an object, the shadow is cast in front of the object.
