Shadow is the darker image which the reflection of light leaves. Shade is where you stand or sit away from the sun.

Well, there are certainly overlaps in usage, but a shadow is a clearly defined area where light falling on a surface is interrupted by an obstruction between the light source and that surface. Shade, on the other hand, is the subdued and indirect illumination you get when an area is- to a large extent- sheltered from direct illumination; think of walking in a forest with the trees breaking up the light of the mid-day sun.
It is, however, certainly the case that the words have overlaps of meaning: you could, for example, see the shadow of a wall, and stand in the shade of that wall to light up a quiet cigarette!

shadow the the shape thrown by an object when a light is shined on it like your shadow when it's a sunny day.
shade is the part of an object where the light is on the opposite side IE a vase with a light source on the left hand side will be in shade on the right

A shadow is what is formed when an object has had light cast on it.
Shade can refer to a tone of colour or the type of shadow.... ie. light or dark... or defined as something in between light and dark....
Also the noun shade is what you stand under when wanting to get out of the sun....

Shade is an area spefically out of the direct rays of the sun on a sunny day. A shadow is the name of the patch of silloette you see when any light... not just the sun... is blocked.

shadow is a dark figure or image cast on the ground or some surface by a body intercepting light. where as shade is the comparative darkness caused by the interception or screening of rays of light from an object, place, or area.

they are apparently the same things. when you use someone's shadow it's shade for you.
it can be said that stationary objects have a shade and moving ones have a shadow

well photographically shadows are always black, shade is the variation you get amongst the (256) shades of grey from black to white.
