Why is there a curved shadow line on the moons surface from our perspective and other times its straight line?
Why does shadow line on moon change from flat to curved?
I have no idea that's why I'm asking but i will endeavour to find out & maybe amend this.
What else can I help you with?
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
Why does the earth cast a strait shadow on the moon even though the earth is round?
The Earth's shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is not perfectly straight because the Earth is a sphere. The shadow is curved because of the Earth's curved shape. However, from the Moon's perspective, the shadow may appear as a straight line due to the Moon's distance from the Earth and the relative sizes of the two bodies.
What are the two most important elements that create the illusion of depth on a flat surface?
light and shadow
Is a shadow proof that light travels in a straight line?
Yes, a shadow is proof that light travels in a straight line because shadows are formed when an object blocks light that is traveling in a straight path from the source to the surface where the shadow is cast. If light did not travel in a straight line, shadows would not form as they do.
The curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is evidence of earth's what?
The curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is evidence of Earth's round shape. The Earth's shadow that falls on the moon is always curved because of the spherical shape of the Earth, which causes the shadow to appear rounded.
Why does the shadow change during the day?
Shadows are created when something comes between the Sun and the surface upon which the shadow is cast. So if you draw a straight line from the Sun's position in the sky and on through the object that's casting the shadow, you will find that the shadow occurs where the straight line intersects that surface. Let's call that straight line the line of shadow (LOS). And it goes Sun to object, to surface where the shadow lies. But wait, the shadow is moving, very very slowly but it is moving. Remember the LOS determines where the shadow lies upon the surface. So something is changing with the LOS. And that something is the Sun's position in the sky. The Sun rises higher in the sky before noon and sags lower in the sky after noon (approximately). As it rises and lowers, the angle at which the LOS intersects the surface and casts that shadow changes to made the shadow shorter as the Sun lifts and longer as the Sun sets. Bottom line: shadows caused by the Sun change during the day because the position of the Sun in the sky changes from low to high, back to low during the day. And that changes the LOS angle onto the shadowed surface.
What type of perspective is used in the painting Saint Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow?
Linear perspective
What are three pieces of evidence to support the inference that the earth has a curved surface?
The observation of ships disappearing hull first over the horizon as they sail away from a viewer, showing that the surface of the Earth is curving away. The changing altitude of the sun at different locations on Earth at the same time, which is consistent with a curved surface. The shape of Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse is always round, indicating a curved surface.
When does the shadow of an object short?
When the line from the light source to the surface on which the shadow falls is perpendicular to that surface.
How does the surface behind a shadow affect the shape and size of an shadow?
If the shadow is on a convex surface, it will be bigger. On a concave surface it will be smaller. If the light source is at a low angle to the opaque object causing the shadow (e.g. you're casting a shadow from a flashlight behind you, to a sidewalk in front), the shadow will be relatively tall. If the angle of the light is high (e.g. sun nearly overhead), the shadow will be short. This will also depend on the angle of the shaded surface.
What property of light explains why a shadow appears?
Light travels in straight lines, and when an object blocks the path of light, it creates a shadow. The shadow forms when light cannot reach a surface because it is blocked by the object, resulting in a darker area behind the object where the light is blocked.
