An object casts a shadow whenever it is illuminated. It really has nothing to do with the angle. Regardless of the angle, it will cast a shadow. The LENGTH of the shadow it casts, however, is dependent upon the angle at which the light strikes the object. A stop sign will cast a very narrow shadow when the sun is directly overhead, for example, but will cast a very long one at sunrise or sunset.
What else can I help you with?
Why did the lunar eclipse have the shadow begin at the top?
That was because of the angle of the sun shining on the Earth and casting a shadow on the moon from your perspective. From Australia, the shadow started at the bottom and moved upwards, even though we were all looking at the same moon at almost the same time.
Has the cross of Jesus ever appeared on your wall?
It was a shadow caused by the angle of light shining onto the wall, nothing more.
What is the definition of shadow angle?
the angle at which a shadow is formed
Is your shadow bigger or smaller when you are nearer to the light source?
Your shadow is smaller when you are closer to the light source because the angle at which the light hits you creates a shorter shadow. As you move away from the light source, the angle of the light changes, resulting in a longer and larger shadow.
How do shadows change and what makes them change?
I'm pretty sure that... Shadows change when the angle of light shining on the object changes. Eg. A person standing in the sun just as it rises will have a longer shadow facing west because of the angle that the sun is at. Whereas the same person standing in the same spot at midday will have a shorter Shadow so the shadow will make the person look shorter. If the light (sun) is directly on top of the person, they mah have no shaddow.
What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
Are your shadows short at sunset?
No. Because of the angle of the sun, your shadow will be longest at when the sun is rising or setting. It is shortest at noon, when your shadow is directly under you.
What is a shadow angle?
an angle (that can be on the earth) at which an angle could be formed by the sun.
When the Sun is high in the afternoon how will be your shadow?
When the Sun is high in the afternoon, your shadow will be shorter and appear directly beneath you. This is because the angle of the Sun is more overhead, resulting in a shorter shadow length.
When a light is close to n object the shadow formed is big because?
The angle of the light passed the edge of the object is greater, creating a larger shadow.
Why does the length and position of my shadow changes as I walk towards and away from the lamp post?
The length and position of your shadow change as you walk towards or away from a lamp post because the angle of the light hitting you changes. When you are closer to the lamp post, the angle of the light hitting you is more direct, resulting in a longer shadow. As you move away, the angle becomes more oblique, shortening the shadow.
When is the shortest shadow cast?
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
