What direction does a shadow move?

A shadow moves in the opposite direction of the light source that is causing it. As the position of the light changes, the shadow will shift accordingly.


Why does the size and direction of a shadow change?

The size and direction of a shadow change because they are influenced by the position of the light source relative to the object casting the shadow. When the light source is closer to the object, the shadow appears larger and the direction may shift. As the light source moves farther away from the object, the shadow size decreases and the direction changes accordingly.


Why is shadow of an object formed in direction opposite to the light source?

The shadow of an object is formed in the direction opposite to the light source because the light rays that illuminate the object cannot pass through it, creating an area of darkness behind the object where these rays are blocked. This results in the shadow being cast in the direction away from the light source.

In what direction does the shadow of the moon move across the earth?

The shadow of the moon moves from west to east across the Earth during a solar eclipse. This occurs because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing the shadow created by the moon to travel in that direction as it crosses the surface. As a result, observers in the path of the eclipse see the shadow move across the landscape in the same west-to-east direction.
