Shadows appear because a light source is blocked by an object. For example, by standing outside on a sunny day, a person's body obstructs the sun's path of light and thus is unable to allow the light source to pass through, causing a 'dark spot' on the ground in the shape of their body.
Shadows appear black because they are areas where light is blocked or obscured by an object, preventing light from reaching that area. This lack of light causes shadows to appear darker compared to the surrounding well-lit areas.
Shadows change because the position and angle of light sources change throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky, shadows shift in direction, length, and intensity. Additionally, factors like cloud cover and the position of objects can also affect how shadows appear.
Lateral shadows cast by moving cars on an overcast day are due to the shape and positioning of the objects in relation to the light source. The angle of the light can create shadows on the side of the objects, including cars, as they move. These shadows appear more pronounced because the diffuse light on overcast days still allows for contrast and the projection of shadows.
Shadows do not absorb light. Instead, they are created when an object blocks light from reaching a certain area, creating a silhouette. The absence of light in a shadow makes it appear darker in comparison to the surrounding areas.
Water shadows are distinct shadows cast by objects on the surface of water, created by the reflection and refraction of light. These shadows appear more fluid and dynamic compared to shadows on solid surfaces, adding a sense of movement and depth to the landscape. The interplay of light and water creates a mesmerizing visual effect, enhancing the overall beauty and tranquility of a natural setting.

The longest shadows typically appear around sunrise and sunset when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This usually occurs during the winter months when the sun is at its lowest angle.
Shadows appear tallest in the morning because the sun is low on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of sunlight. As the day progresses, the sun rises higher, reducing the length of shadows.
Not on a proper black surface (if one existed).
There are actually three answers to this question, depending where you want to set your goalposts! While Cliff Richard's first album, Cliff, was recorded with The Shadows in 1959, at this time The Shadows were actually called The Drifters. The Shadows also appear on Cliff's second album, Cliff Sings, released the same year, but only appear on half of the tracks. The first album on which The Shadows are both the only backing band AND under the name The Shadows (and not The Drifters!) is Me and My Shadows, released in 1960.
Yes, there would be shadows on Mars at noon. The intensity and length of the shadows would depend on the angle of the sunlight hitting the surface. Mars has a thin atmosphere, so shadows may appear sharper and darker compared to Earth.
Harry Watton has written: 'The long shadows appear'
Shadows appear black because they are areas where light is blocked or obscured by an object, preventing light from reaching that area. This lack of light causes shadows to appear darker compared to the surrounding well-lit areas.
Shadows appear longer at midday because the sun is directly overhead, causing objects to cast longer shadows. The angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth at midday creates longer shadows compared to when the sun is at a lower angle in the morning and evening.
