Question

why do the birds flying high do not cast their shadow on the surface of the Earth?

Solution

Hi Brinda!

As the bird is flying high, the penumbra formed by it will be so large that the shadow will not be visible. If the bird is flying near to the surface of Earth, the shadow will be visible.

Cheers!!
