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.

Why the shadow of a flying bird not seen in the earth?

The shadow of a flying bird may not be seen on the ground because the bird is often higher in the sky than the angle at which the sun's rays hit the ground, resulting in the shadow being cast above where we can see it from the ground. Additionally, the bird's movement and the speed of the sun may also contribute to the shadow not being visible to us.

Why can't we see shadow of bird flying up in the sky?

A shadow forms when light is blocked. Consider a light source, an object that might or might not cast a shadow, and a surface on which the shadow might or might not be cast. In order to cast a shadow, the object must block ALL light from the source reaching the surface. Now, the sun is not a pinpoint source of light, but a massive body, about 1.4 billion meters in diameter. And every point on the surface of the sun that is facing us is casting light in our direction. That object, in this case the bird, must block all of that light from reaching some area on the surface in order to cast a shadow. The higher a bird flies, the smaller area it can block sunlight from reaching. When this area reaches zero, no shadow is cast. Think of it this way. In order for an object to cast a shadow, it must "appear", from the surface, to be larger than the light source. It's apparent size must be sufficient to completely hide the light source if placed in front of it (between the light source and a point on the surface). The higher the object is, the smaller it appears to be. It is easy to see that, at say 50 feet, all but the largest birds would not appear big enough to block out the sun, and would therefore cast no shadow.
