Shadow and darkness

Shadow refers to the dark outline or shape created when an object blocks light, preventing it from illuminating an area behind it. Darkness, on the other hand, is the absence of light itself, resulting in a space where visibility is low or nonexistent. Both shadow and darkness are essential concepts in understanding how light interacts with objects in our environment. They can evoke various feelings and symbolize concepts like mystery or fear in literature and art. In practical terms, shadows help us perceive shapes and distances, while darkness can indicate time, such as nightfall or enclosed spaces.
