Learning Objective
I can analyze how the position of the Sun affects the length and direction of shadows.
- 1
A shadow is created when an opaque object blocks a light source.
- 2
Shadows cannot be created with transparent objects because light can pass through them.
- 3
The size and position of a shadow changes depending on the position of the light source, and shadows are longest in the morning and evening.
