it is because there is no source of light.

What is weightless but you can see it and?

A shadow is something that is weightless but can be seen.


This has size and form and can be seen Yet it cannot be felt and it does not occupy space What is it?

It is a shadow. A shadow is the silhouette cast by an object blocking light and is visible to the eye, but it does not have physical substance and does not occupy space, hence cannot be felt.


Why are you more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?

You are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, which can be seen from anywhere on the night side of the Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth, but this shadow is much smaller and can only be seen from a specific region on Earth.


How does the length of a shadow get longer?

The length of a shadow gets longer as the angle of the Sun decreases towards the horizon. This is because the light from the Sun has to travel through a larger portion of the Earth's atmosphere, causing the shadow to stretch out. The longest shadows are typically seen during sunrise and sunset when the Sun is low in the sky.


what causes shadow length?

The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
