Why cant we see our shadow clearly at night ?
Dear student,
For a shadow to form we need a distinct light source which the object blocks and thus forms a shadow.
You can't see your shadow in the dark because there is no shadow in the dark. Shadows are caused when something is blocking the light. And if there is no light that can be blocked, there can't be any shadows. Darkness is, in itself, a shadow. You can't distinguish your shadow from the shadow cast by the box you're holding. They just blend together and are impossible to tell apart.
