- A shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the path of light.
- For a shadow to be visible, there must be a source of light, an opaque object, and a screen (or surface) for the shadow to fall upon.
- In complete darkness, there is no light source.
- Without a light source, light cannot be blocked by an object to form a shadow.
