First of all, let's get one thing straight, everybody has a shadow, right,? And your question is "What causes shadows to appear?". Well, if it's sunny outside, the you have a shadow and when it's cloudy, your shadow is less visible. So shadows have something to do with the sun. When the sun hits an object is causes the object to have a dark side, away from the sun. So, the sun causes shadows to appear.well the topic is MOUSTACHE shadow and Actually NO that cant be it ,the shadow remains when youre in a dark room

What causes a shadow to change?

The position of the sun through out the day? The Earth's rotation changes the angle of the sun as the day passes, so the shadows change based on the position of the sun in the sky. If the sun is up high (around noon), the shadows will be short or not appear to exist (they are under or nearly under the objects). As it gets later in the day, the shadows get longer.
