Depends where the light source is located and how many. Light will diffract around objects, so depending on the size of the object and the distance the light source is from it, more than one shadow can be cast, or at least it can have larger or smaller blurry edges which change when the light source is moved.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to a shadow when the object is moved?
The shadow's position changes relative to the light source and object. It will move and change in size depending on the direction and distance the object is moved.
What causes a shadow to change shapes?
the object blocking the light or the light source are moved or changed. A shadow is created when an object is placed in the path of light. If the object remains unchanged then the movement of the light that is casting the shadow will alter the shape.
Why the shadow will be sharper if the object is moved further from the light source?
The width of the light source is the main cause of the shadow edge becoming more blurred as the mask approaches the light source. But light refraction around the edge of the mask may also be a minor component.
What will happen to shadow if the light is moved away from the object?
The shadow will diminish in size and darkness as the distance between the object and the light source increases. Eventually, the shadow will fade away completely if the object is no longer within the reach of the light.
How do you make a shadow bigger or smaller?
To make a shadow bigger, you can increase the size of the object casting the shadow, move the object closer to the light source, or decrease the distance between the object and the surface the shadow falls on. To make a shadow smaller, you can decrease the size of the object, move the object farther from the light source, or increase the distance between the object and the surface.

When an object is moved closer to the light source will the shadow become bigger or smaller?
There are many things that could happen when an object is moved nearer to a light or further away. It could change temperatures.

How does a shadow travel faster than light?
The object casting the shadow moved, the source of light moved, the object upon which the shadow was cast moved, the shadow was viewed through a prism or a piece of glass that moved, stress or fear influenced the perception of the person seeing the shadow, some translucent or semi-opaque cloud or puff of smoke moved across the field and momentarily highlighted the shadow, or the shadow was never really there in the first place. There may be other possibilities, but they are not obvious to me at the moment.
What happens to the fuzzy region around the edge of the central region when the light source is moved away?
When the light source is moved farther away, the fuzzy region around the edge of the central region will decrease in size. This is because the light rays spread out less as they travel a greater distance, resulting in a sharper shadow edge.
How would a shadow change as an object moved toward the light?
In this Thread, we will become familiar with the orientation of shadows, their size in relation to the object casting them, and how the alignment of the Sun, the object, and the shadow tells us much about how shadows work. The National Science Education Standards stress that geometry and light should be integrated into curricula as tools for learning about three dimensional objects. Vocabulary words which can be used to help talk about our experiences are alignment, casting, angle, and light source. The height of a tilted light source (in other words, the angle between the light source and the ground) and the size of the object it is illuminating determine the length of the shadow that the object casts. The object blocks the light coming from the source so that nothing behind the object gets any direct light. The length of the shadow is a result of how high above or below the top of the object the light source is. Imagine if the light source were directly above the top of the object. Would there be a shadow? No, not one that would be visible around the object. Twist the light source a little down from the top, and a shadow appears behind the object, but is very short. This is because as the light source moves down, the shadow is being created by the small area of the object blocking the light. Imagine straight lines coming down from the light and hitting the object. The higher the light, the less light lines get blocked by the object and hence the less shadow. Thus, the lower the light source is aimed at the object, the more the object blocks the lines, or rays, of light. The key to understanding shadows is to realize that the light source and object must be lined up in order to make a shadow appear. In fact, if the object is placed anywhere along that line, it will produce a shadow of the same length behind the object. It is only when you change the orientation of the light source that the shadow changes. That makes sense in one order: light hits an object and casts a shadow. But experiencing the connection of these fundamentals in a different arrangement is good for rooting our experiences more firmly. In other words, trying to predict where to place an object to cast a shadow at a specific location: essentially trying to locate the path of the light. We've made a brief page about solar eclipses. Solar eclipses are excellent examples of light and shadow. By JASON
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
When object is moved closer to screen what happens to the shadow?
Well, darling, when you move an object closer to the screen, the shadow it casts will appear larger and more defined. This happens because the object is blocking more light from reaching the screen, creating a more prominent shadow. So, in simple terms, bring that object closer and watch that shadow grow!
When a shadow is formed on a screen what would happen to the shadow if the screen were moved further away from the bulb?
The shadow would become larger and less defined as the screen is moved further away from the bulb. This is because the light rays from the bulb spread out further apart as the distance increases, resulting in a larger, more diffuse shadow.
