Solution

Shadow:
A shadow is a light that has been obscured by an object. The item can either completely or partially obstruct the light.
Shadows grow larger as they got closer to the light source.
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.
