Why do shadows form ?

Shadows are created when an object blocks the path of light. Only opaque objects can form shadow. Shadows are helpful to us as it give us some information about the shape of objects. The shadows can be seen only on screen such as on walls, buildings, grounds, or on other surfaces.

Moon appears as the brightest object at night as compare to stars. It appears quite large, but that is only because it is the closest celestial body to our earth .
