Not usually. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so unless the sun is at a certain angle, then clouds between the tornado and the sun prevent it from casting a shadow.

Do tornadoes have shadows?

Sometimes. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms and it is difficult to cast a shadow with an overcast sky. In some cases, though, the sun shines in from the side and illuminates a tornado, in which case it would cast a shadow.


When the sun is directly above you do you have a shadow?

No, when the sun is directly above us we don't have shadow. The shadow is under us. I disagree: Most people are bigger around at the hips than at the feet so you will have a shadow around your feet.

Eratosthenes determined the circumference of earth by conducting an experiment what was his steps?

Eratosthenes observed that the sun cast no shadow in one city (Syene) on the summer solstice, while it did cast a shadow in another city (Alexandria). By measuring the angle of the shadow in Alexandria, he was able to calculate the angle between the two cities and estimate the Earth's circumference based on the distance between them.


What determines the shape of a shadow?

The shape of a shadow is determined by the direction of the light source and the object casting the shadow. The angle of the light and the distance between the object and the surface onto which the shadow is cast also play a role in shaping the shadow.
