A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.

What are the two types of shadows?
Cast and form shadows: -Cast shadows are just typical shadows that are created when light is blocked by an object. -Form shadows are the shadows that are on the object and away from the light source. Usually, in painting, cast shadows are used to give an object a more realistic and 3D look to them.
Does wind cast shadows?
No, wind does not cast shadows. Shadows are formed when an object blocks light, but since wind is the movement of air particles, it cannot block light to create shadows.
Why do not things flying high aeroplane cast their shadows?
Objects do cast shadows at higher altitudes in the same way they do on the ground; however, the shadow may not be visible due to the lack of contrast against the sky. Additionally, the position of the sun in the sky and the angle at which light is hitting the object can also affect the visibility of the shadow.
