Imagine a sunny day, and you're playing with your shadow on the ground. When you move, your shadow moves too, it's like a dance partner! But what makes shadows move when light changes? Well, think of light as something that can come from anywhere: the sun, a lamp, or even a flashlight. A shadow is formed when an object blocks this light, and if either the object or the light moves, the shadow will follow like a ghost dancing on the floor. It's all about where the light hits and what gets in its way!
Examples
- Your shadow dances on the floor when you run across a sunny field.
- A tree’s shadow changes shape as the day turns to evening.
