Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.

Why does a shadow form behind you when the sun shines?
A shadow forms when an object blocks the path of light. In the case of the sun shining, the object blocking the light is you, which casts a shadow behind you. The sun's rays are not able to pass through your body, creating the shadow on the ground.
Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?

How is the shadow of the tree formed?
The shadow of a tree is formed when sunlight is blocked by the tree, creating an area of darkness on the ground. The position of the sun and the angle of the tree's leaves and branches determine the size and shape of the shadow. When the sun is directly above, the shadow appears directly below the tree, and as the sun moves, so does the shadow.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead if the light spreading around the tree?
The tree blocks the sunlight, preventing it from reaching the area behind the tree, creating a shadow. Light travels in straight lines, and when an object obstructs its path, it cannot pass through. This causes the area behind the tree to receive less light, creating the shadow.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the spreading around the tree?
Light travels in straight lines and therefore some will hit the tree. Where this happens a shadow (absence of light) is created behind the tree.

What is the tree that has no shadow?
Well, no trees have a shadow if it is dark, or if they are shaded by a bigger tree. But a family tree may have no shadow.
Why does a shadow form behind the dog when a light shines on it?
A shadow forms behind the dog when a light shines on it because the light cannot pass through the dog. Instead, the light is blocked by the dog, creating a region of darkness behind it where the light cannot reach. This creates the shadow that we see.
When is your shadow behind you?
When the sun is shining in your face, your shadow will be behind you.
What is it called when an object blocks light and forms a dark area?
It is called a shadow. When an object blocks the path of light, it creates a shadow on the surface behind it due to the absence of light in that particular area.
What happens to your shadow if you stand in the lights of a tree's shadow?
A tree's shadow does not have light. Anytime you are in the shadow of another object your body has no shadow of its own.
