ReneIn science, a shadow refers to the dark area created when an object blocks light. It occurs because light cannot pass through the object, casting a shadow on the surface behind it. Shadows are used in various scientific fields, such as astronomy and Biology, to study the behavior of light and analyze the shapes and movements of objects.
