SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -If an opaque (solid) object gets in the way, it stops light rays from traveling through it. This results in an area of darkness appearing behind the object. The dark area is called a shadow. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position and size of the light source compared to the object.

Detailed explanation-2: -The umbra (Latin for “shadow") is the innermost and darkest part of a shadow, where the light source is completely blocked by the occluding body.

Detailed explanation-3: -A shadow is a dark area where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simply speaking, a shadow is an absence of light. If light cannot get through an object, the surface on the other side of that object (for example, the ground or a wall) will have less light reaching it. A shadow is not a reflection, even though it is often the same shape as the object.

Detailed explanation-5: -shadow. When an object obstructs the path of light, the dark area formed on the screen is called the shadow. Shadow is formed on the screen behind the opaque or translucent object when light falls on them.
