Answer:

Shadow of an object is actually because of the absence of light. Light travels in straight light and thus it forms shadow when partial wavefront is blocked. You'd see perfectly black shadow on moon because there's no atmosphere to scatter off the light rays.

Answer:

Shadows are evidence of light travelling in straight lines. ... Once light has hit another surface or particles, it is then absorbed, reflected (bounces off), scattered (bounces off in all directions), refracted (direction and speed changes) or transmitted (passes straight through).
