Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the light 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 concept of comparative advantage using arithmetic geometry and algebra?
Comparative advantage in economics is the idea that it's much better to produce and trade the one thing you do best than trying to do everything. Examples use algebra to compare the 'opportunity' cost of creating other things. As an example, if, after a full month's work, you could create 100 units of food or instead create 20 units of clothing, it costs you making 5 units of food to make a unit of clothing. If someone else could make 200 units of food or instead create 50 units of clothing, it only costs them making 4 units of food to make a unit of clothing. Since it costs him less to create clothing, if you create food and he pays you in clothing for food, both of you benefit.
