if the object is too close to the eye the distance bteween the object and retina is less and hence the image of the object is not formed on the retina so we cannot see the object properly

When you place something close to a light source will it make a big shadow or a small shadow?
The closer an object is to a source of light the larger the shadow it will cast.
What is the relationship between the size of the shadow and the distance of the object from the light source?
The relationship between the size of a shadow of an object and the distance of light source from the object is indirectly proportional. A short distance will make the shadow big while making the distance long will reduce the size of the shadow.
Why do birds flying high not cast a shadow explain shortly?
when an object is closer to the light source,the larger and fuzzier is the shadow.also if the object is moved away from the screen,the shadow is fuzzier.therefore the bird which is close to sun and away from the ground casts a fuzzier shadow in the atmosphere which cannot be seen

What creates a shadow?
The word shadow has many meanings in English. Most of these refer to the shielded area behind an object which relates to its original Old English meaning of "shield" or "block"/ Thus a shadow is created when an object blocks light, wind , rain or other force to produce a dark, calm or dry area.A shadow, meaning an entity or thing that closely follows another, such as a shadow government a shadow in police work relates to the fact that a "shadow" is close to the object creating the shadow and mimics the objects size and movement. Other concepts for shadow include "darkness". A room with small windows is said to be "in shadow" This type of shadow is created in an interior which is protected from the light.
Why can't we see shadow of bird flying up in the sky?
A shadow forms when light is blocked. Consider a light source, an object that might or might not cast a shadow, and a surface on which the shadow might or might not be cast. In order to cast a shadow, the object must block ALL light from the source reaching the surface. Now, the sun is not a pinpoint source of light, but a massive body, about 1.4 billion meters in diameter. And every point on the surface of the sun that is facing us is casting light in our direction. That object, in this case the bird, must block all of that light from reaching some area on the surface in order to cast a shadow. The higher a bird flies, the smaller area it can block sunlight from reaching. When this area reaches zero, no shadow is cast. Think of it this way. In order for an object to cast a shadow, it must "appear", from the surface, to be larger than the light source. It's apparent size must be sufficient to completely hide the light source if placed in front of it (between the light source and a point on the surface). The higher the object is, the smaller it appears to be. It is easy to see that, at say 50 feet, all but the largest birds would not appear big enough to block out the sun, and would therefore cast no shadow.

Why shadow get smaller and bigger in a scientifically explination?
The size of a shadow has everything to do with placement of the light source, the object, and the background on which the shadow is cast. In general, if the light source is close to the object and the background is further away then the shadow is larger than the object. The opposite is true if the light source is further away. Another part of the equation has to do with angles. This is what we commonly observe happining to shadows at different times of the day; long shadows in the morning and evening and smaller shadows around the middle of the day.
Is close a transitive verb or an intransitive verb?
