What do shadows tell you about the sun?
Sharp shadow show us that light travels in straight lines and cannot bend around corners.
Is shadow important to us?
Shadows play several important roles in our lives. They help us understand the position and movement of objects, provide cues about depth and distance, and can affect our perception of the environment. Shadows can also be aesthetically pleasing and add to the beauty of our surroundings.
What can shadows tell us?
It can be used as an IQ test. First, bend down. Farther, so that your head is inches away from the ground. Then, see if you can find the word "gullible". If you can, good job. You're a genius.

The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day. The sun can tell us the earth is moving as we can see shadows on people and objects moving around telling us something has to be moving. It has been scientificly proven that is not the Sun or "Sol" so we know it is the Earth.
What do s shadows tell us about the interior of the earth?
Shadows can provide information about the depth and direction of geological features, such as mountain ranges or volcanic peaks, on the surface of the Earth. By studying the lengths and angles of shadows, geologists can infer the approximate shape and elevation of land formations, helping to better understand the Earth's interior composition and structure.
Why does Erathosthenes measurement tell us the Earth is spherical to a good approximation?
Eratosthenes found out that shadows were not consistent at the same time of day in different places. He reasoned that the Earth must be a sphere to allow this.

What do volcanos tell us about earth?
They tell us that we need to be carefull, when there is a warning about a eruption. It also tellls us about the earth in many ways, such as: There is lava under the the land layer, there are many tectonic plates, and so on. Volcanoes tell us a lot about the chemical composition of rock. They tell us what incredible force there is under the earth's crust. They can be used to indicate were the earth has been hit by large astroids in the past. The shockwave from an astroide can go through the "core" to the opposite side of the earth and there cause an eruption. Volcanoes tell us more about the past than our future.

How are shadows useful?
Shadows give us information about shapes of objects. Sometimes, shadows can also mislead us about the shape of the object. :)
How does the shadow change throughout the day?
Shadows are all about the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates throughout the day, the relative positions of the sun and Earth change. The sun is the primary light source for shadows, and if the light source is changing positions (this is relative to earth), then the shadows will change.
