Why are shadows not completely black?

Shadows occur when an object blocks the light falling on it so the light can’t reach the surface on the other side of the object. Shadows are very rarely completely black as there are usually reflections off surfaces and other light sources, which make their way into the shadowy area.

Why do clouds not make shadows?

If the vapor density is low, the clouds are transparent. Conversely, if the density is high, those clouds are opaque. So if they are opaque then they will definitely cast shadow. Clouds can be transparent, translucent or opaque, depending on the quantity of water vapor in it.

Can there be shadows on clouds?

Further, the sun being beyond the cloud, the bulk of the sunlight reflected by the cloud would fall the wrong way. Long after the sun’s rays are cut off from the spectator, they will still be shining upon clouds high overhead, and therefore able to cast shadows.

Are cast shadows always black?

Not all shadows are black. When lights of different colors shine on the same spot on a white surface, the light reflecting from that spot to your eyes is called an additive mixture because it is the sum of all the light. We can learn about human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.

Why do clouds make shadows?

Sunlight passing through a cloud is scattered in various directions. Some photons eventually find their way out the bottom of the cloud, some are reflected upwards, and some are absorbed, serving to warm the cloud. Since only a fraction of the light makes it to ground level, you have a shadow.

What causes shadows in the sky?

The bright areas are sunlight, the darker areas between them are the shadows of the clouds which are blocking the sun from you. Since the gasses of the atmosphere are transparent, the shadows are actually being seen due to dust and haze suspended in the air being illuminated or not.
