Imagine you're holding a flashlight and shining it on your hand. If the light is close, your shadow might look big and stretched out. But if the light is far away, like the sun, your shadow looks more like your real hand. Shadows change shape based on where the light is, it's like drawing with light!
Examples
- A tree makes a long, wobbly shadow on the wall if you shine a flashlight near it.
