Question 41 of 100:
The shadow of the kite flying high in the sky is not
seen on the ground because
Anonymous:
As a kiteboarder, I regularly fly “large” kites (12 square meters or 15 square meters) on relatively short (24m) lines. To a large kite relatively close to the earth, the sun appears as nearly a point illumination source and the shadow is relatively defined and crisp on the surface of the water or the sand. But as the kite area is smaller relative to it’s altitude, the sun is no longer a point source and light can “creep” around the kite’s outline , making the shadow more diffuse.

Answer:
because they are shading an area that is very tiny, the shadow is not visible. The higher the bird flies, the smaller the shadow it casts.

Answer:
kite flying high in the sky do cast their shadow but because they are shading an area that is very tiny, the shadow is not visible. The higher the kite flies, the smaller the shadow it casts. Answer: For the shadow to fall near you, the kite would have to be close to the line directly from you to the sun.
