How shadows are formed?
A shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the travel of light on a second object. Light travels in straight lines and any barrier along its path averts the rays striking the barrier.This forms a region of darkness, shaped like the surface of the object obstructing the light. A shadow takes up all the space behind the object with light before it. Its cross-section is a two-dimensional outline of the obstructing object. The shadow is smaller if the angle between an object and the path of light is nearer to 90°. It is longer if the angle between the surface and the path of light is smaller. If the obstructing object is closer to the starting point of light, the shadow is larger.

You may also add one more item a Transparent object! You will see I'm quite correct...Shadows are formed by light, because if light shines onto an object, and the object blocks the light, the light will go sideways of the object, and therefore, a shadow is formed.Light can only travel in straight lines. If light is coming from one main source, then an object that does not allow light to pass through it, will have an absence of light behind it, i.e.a shadow.
