Why the shadow of flying bird is not seen on the ground even though it is opaque?

If you see a bird but do not see a shadow on the ground, it is probably because of the angle the light is coming from. If you drew an imaginary line form the source of light, (probably the sun) through the bird, you would find the shadow of the bird where the line touched the ground. If there is no light, the bird cannot make a shadow.


What is the dark inner shadow where total eclipses can be seen on earth?

The dark inner shadow where total eclipses can be seen on Earth is called the umbra. This is the central region of the Moon's shadow during a total solar eclipse, where the Sun is completely blocked out. Observers within the umbra experience the full effect of the eclipse, with the sky darkening and the Sun's corona becoming visible.


How is a total eclipse created?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. In other words, the moon is in the earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. In other words, the earth is in the moon's shadow. The earth is much larger than the moon, so the moon's shadow is considerably smaller than the earth's. Total lunar eclipses are far more frequent and can be seen by everyone on earth with a view of the moon. A solar eclipse can only be seen by those within the narrow band of the moon's shadow.
