From the sun
Yes, translucent objects can cast a shadow. When light passes through a translucent object, it can still create a shadow behind the object depending on the intensity and direction of the light source.
Objects do cast shadows at higher altitudes in the same way they do on the ground; however, the shadow may not be visible due to the lack of contrast against the sky. Additionally, the position of the sun in the sky and the angle at which light is hitting the object can also affect the visibility of the shadow.
Moon shadows are not necessarily rare, as they occur whenever the moon is shining and an object blocks its light, creating a shadow. However, the visibility of a moon shadow depends on various factors such as the phase of the moon, the clarity of the sky, and the presence of objects to cast the shadow.
The nearer the sun is to the ground, the longer the shadow casted.
My shadow would be directly under me at 8 am, given that the sun is typically in the eastern sky during morning hours. This positioning causes objects to cast their shadows in the opposite direction of the sunlight.

The name given to objects that do not cast a shadow in the presence of light is called translucent. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them, making them appear to have no shadow.
The shadow is formed exactly below the object. So it cannot be seen.
It depends on how you define shadow. If you define shadow as an area of lessened light caused by objects in the light path, then yes water can and does cast shadows, esp. waves, ripples, etc.
Transparent objects cast sharp and well-defined shadows. Translucent objects cast softer shadows with blurred edges. Opaque objects cast solid and dark shadows with clear outlines.
When the sun is low in the sky, the light from it hits objects and people at a shallow angle. This causes these objects and people to cast a long shadow. Long shadows can also be cast by any light source that is at a shallow angle to an object, such as a flashlight.
The qualities of the shadows are identical but the size of the objects casting shadows differs greatly.
Opaque objects do not let light to past through so it will not cause a shadow. Because light cannot get through an opaque object, it will cast a shadow on the side opposite of the light.
Transparent or translucent objects do not cast a dark shadow because light can pass through them easily, preventing the formation of a clearly defined shadow. Materials like glass or clear plastic will not produce a dark shadow when exposed to light.
In a darkroom, there is no light for objects to cast shadows. Shadows are created when an object blocks light from a source, but in a darkroom environment, there is no external light source for objects to cast shadows.
Shadows are not physical objects that can move or have speed, as they are the result of an object blocking light. The speed of a shadow depends on the speed of the object creating it and the distance between the object and the surface where the shadow is being cast.
Yes, translucent objects can cast a shadow. When light passes through a translucent object, it can still create a shadow behind the object depending on the intensity and direction of the light source.
