A shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the travel of light on a second object. Light travels in straight lines and any barrier along its path averts the rays striking the barrier.This forms a region of darkness, shaped like the surface of the object obstructing the light.
A shadow takes up all the space behind the object with light before it. Its cross-section is a two-dimensional outline of the obstructing object.
The shadow is smaller if the angle between an object and the path of light is nearer to 90°. It is longer if the angle between the surface and the path of light is smaller. If the obstructing object is closer to the starting point of light, the shadow is larger.
