Sunlight and Shadows in the Garden
The Science
This photo shows sunlight shining through trees and creating shadows on the grass. Shadows form when an object blocks light from traveling in a straight line. The size and shape of the shadows depend on the position of the Sun and the objects blocking the light. We commonly see this effect outdoors during sunny days, especially in gardens and parks where there are many trees.
