Why is a cloudy day warmer then a sunny winter day?
A cloudy winter day is warmer than a sunny winter day because the clouds reflect the heat radiating from the earths surface and traps them in the atmosphere. On a sunny (cloudless day) the heat radiates out into space and is lost. on cloudy day the sun rays can't reach the earth surface for evaporation of water which causes cooling, moerover atmosphere is saturated of vapours so evaporation is very less from earth surface as compare to that of sunny day

Does a satellite in earths orbit cast a visible shadow on earths surface?
The Moon does, most noticeably during an eclipse. Smaller satellites are tougher, try this experiment: use a golf ball and hold it outside on a sunny day or a cloudy day and then move it closer or farther from the ground. The visible shadow changes based on condition and naturally the size of the satellite --------------- no, too small. The sunlight refracts off of the atmosphere and 'fills in' the shadow cast far before it reaches the surface.
