Why do some object cast a shadow and some don't?
Well first of all, lets just say you had a leaf and held it in the sun and it cast a shadow on the ground right below your feet. This happens because when the white light that the Sun gives off hits the leaf, the leaf absorbs every color in the white light.....except for green, that is the only color that is scattered and given off from the leaf. When the "green" light is reflected, it makes contact with the constant sunlight, and when two light waves collide it either becomes a bigger light source, or they cancel each other out and it creates shadow. Im 13 and hope this helped.
