Does your shadow have a shadow?

Question

When you are looking at your own shadow, can it (the shadow...your shadow) have its own shadow?

Answer 1

Only when it gets drunk and wanders off by itself.

Answer 2

Shadow

Answer 3

No, only material three-dimensional objects can cast shadows from a light source. Since a shadow has no matter (or an infinitely tiny amount, as some scientists claim) and is only two dimensional, it cannot cast a shadow. When there are multiple light sources, one object can cast multiple shadows and shadows can be seen in mirrors, but that is about it.

Answer 4

<>In a sense, yes. Your shadow often has two parts- the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the dark part of the shadow. If you look at the shadow, especially in bright light, you will see a lighter, fuzzy edge. This is called the penumbra, and is, in a sense, the shadow of the shadow.

Answer 5

Interesting question. I'm sure that a genius such as Johnny Depp would easily play the second shadow. I'm a big fan...

From my own experience, however, I can safely say that only your eyeballs would cause a shadow to be projected in these circumstances.

Answer 6

Your shadow can't have a shadow because you are blocking the light.

Answer 7

probably not because when your standing you block the light so that your shadow canh't have another shadow..

Answer 8

No, it can have its own reflection though.

Answer 9

Answer 10
