Shadows
Everyday, the sun rises from the same
side - the East, and sets in the opposite
side - the West. Whenever an object
comes in front of sunlight, its shadow is
formed. For example, in the picture,
Amjad is standing in front of the sun and
his shadow is cast on the opposite side.
When the sun changes its position, the
length of the shadow also changes.
When the sun is at lower height in the morning and evening, the
shadow becomes longer.
