The size of a shadow has everything to do with placement of the light source, the object, and the background on which the shadow is cast. In general, if the light source is close to the object and the background is further away then the shadow is larger than the object. The opposite is true if the light source is further away. Another part of the equation has to do with angles. This is what we commonly observe happining to shadows at different times of the day; long shadows in the morning and evening and smaller shadows around the middle of the day.
Just about any object you care to name. If you make something bigger or smaller, you can usually make it weigh exactly 1 kiogram.
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
size scale
It can be.
If you put your object further backwards your shadow will become bigger but if you put your object more forwards your shadow will become smaller!
If you put your object further backwards your shadow will become bigger but if you put your object more forwards your shadow will become smaller!
To make a shadow bigger, you can increase the size of the object casting the shadow, move the object closer to the light source, or decrease the distance between the object and the surface the shadow falls on. To make a shadow smaller, you can decrease the size of the object, move the object farther from the light source, or increase the distance between the object and the surface.
There are many things that could happen when an object is moved nearer to a light or further away. It could change temperatures.
When the light source is bigger than the object.
As the object moves further away from the camera, the image appears smaller and may become more blurred or less detailed. The distance affects the focus, clarity, and size of the object in the image captured.
true
It is smaller than some and larger than others.
Shadows get smaller as the light source moves closer to the object casting the shadow, and they get larger as the light source moves farther away. The size of a shadow is influenced by the distance between the object and the light source.
If the object is moved further away from the pinhole, the image would become smaller and dimmer as it is projected onto the screen or surface. The image would also become more focused since light rays from different parts of the object have to travel a longer distance to converge at the pinhole, resulting in a sharper image.
