Light cannot pass through the object as it is opaque, causing a "lack of light"

Why shadow is formed behind you when the sun shines?
The sun emits light waves, these light waves hit you and are reflected away (and also absorbed) from their destination, which would have been the objects behind you.

What do you need in order to see a shadow?
We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
Do shadows change in the day because the sun goes up in the day and down at night?
Yes. All shadows change according to where the light source is coming from. If something is faceing east the shadow will fall behind the object and will be seen in the west. The same for when you are faceing west the shadow will fall behind to the east. If the light is comming from directly above, the shadow will fall underneath the object. It all vary's from the different directions from which the light is coming from.

What is a preumbra?
The sun shines light on both the moon and the Earth. When it shines light on one side of either one, they cast a shadow in space. During an eclipse, the shadow of either the moon or the earth gets cast on the other one. For example, during a solar eclipse the sun, moon, and earth have to be aligned Sun - Moon- Earth. The sun shines light on the moon and the moon's shadow gets cast on the Earth. The middle of the shadow where an observer can't see any light is the umbra. The sides of the shadow where you can see partial light is the preumbra.
Why is your shadow sometimes in front of you and sometimes. behind you?
Your shadow will fall in the direction opposite the source of light - with you between the light source and the shadow. The direction of your shadow relative to you will depend on what direction you are facing.If you are facing toward the light source, the shadow will be behind you.If you are facing away from the light source, it will be in front of you.If you have the light source to your right, the shadow will be to your left.If you have the light source to your left, the shadow will be to your right.If the light source is directly above you, the shadow will be directly under you.If you move past a light source, your shadow will move from behind you to beside you and then to in front of you.
What was the first ever type of puppet?
The first type of puppet is believed to be shadow puppets, where figures are manipulated behind a screen with a light source casting their shadows. This form of puppetry dates back thousands of years and has been found in various cultures around the world.
Why does a shadow form behind an object when light shines on it?
Because a shadow forms behind an object when a light source shines on it. This happens because the object is solid and light can not travel through the solid object. The light that travels around the object reflects back up and the area that is not reflecting looks darker. That's why! Did this help you?
Can shadows be formed on shiny surfaces?
They couldn't shine AND have a shadow on them at the same time, as when something shines it is reflecting light. A shadow is an area where little/no light is reaching due to something between it and the light source.
