Question

Why do we not see shadows in a fully dark room or outside on a dark, moonless night?

Solution

Explanation:

  1. A shadow is said to be created when an opaque object comes in the path of the light.
  2. In a fully dark room, no source of light is there, so no shadow is formed.
  3. As stated in the question the night is moonless, so there is no source of light, there is nothing to be blocked and so no shadow is formed.
