Solution

Shadow:

  1. A shadow is a light that has been obscured by an object. The item can either completely or partially obstruct the light.
  2. Shadows grow larger as they got closer to the light source.
  3. A shadow is a dark area that forms when an item blocks the passage of light. As a result, no light penetrates the shadow zone, resulting in a dark shadow.

Therefore, the color of the shadow is independent of the color of the object.
