Your Own Shadow

Your body is opaque (you can't see through it), so when you stand in the sunshine, you block the light and make a shadow on the ground.
How to see it:
Go outside on a sunny day and look at the ground behind you. You will see a dark shape that looks just like you!
💡 Fun Facts
- Your shadow changes its size and position during the day because the Sun moves across the sky.
- At midday, when the Sun is highest in the sky, your shadow is very short.
- In the early morning and late evening, when the Sun is low in the sky, your shadow is very long and stretched out.
