Shadows

A shadow is made when an object blocks light. The shadow appears the side of the object furthest from the light source.

The object must be opaque or translucent to make a shadow. A transparent object will not make any shadow, as light will pass straight through it.

Opaque objects make dark shadows. Translucent objects make faint shadows.

• If an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger.

• If an object is moved further away from the light source, the shadow gets smaller.
