Your Own Shadow

The shadows of people
The shadows of people

Your body is opaque (you can't see through it), so when you stand in the sunshine, you block the light and make a shadow on the ground.

How to see it:

Go outside on a sunny day and look at the ground behind you. You will see a dark shape that looks just like you!

💡 Fun Facts

  • Your shadow changes its size and position during the day because the Sun moves across the sky.
  • At midday, when the Sun is highest in the sky, your shadow is very short.
  • In the early morning and late evening, when the Sun is low in the sky, your shadow is very long and stretched out.
