Suppose Chike and Aneesa are standing in an open field on a sunny day. Chike sees his own shadow on the ground but notices that Aneesa, who is standing farther away, does not have a visible shadow. Based on spatial reasoning, why can't Chike see Aneesa's shadow?
Provide a very brief response.
Shadows are formed when an object blocks light from a source, creating a dark area on a surface where the light is obstructed. In this scenario, the sun is the light source. Since Chike can see his own shadow, the sun must be at an angle relative to his position that allows for his shadow to appear on the ground where he can observe it. If Chike cannot see Aneesa's shadow, it is likely because Aneesa is standing at a different position relative to the sun, where the light does not cast her shadow into Chike's line of sight. It's possible that her shadow is being cast in a direction away from Chike's view, perhaps behind her where Chike cannot see. Another possibility is that something else, like a structure or another person, is blocking the view of Aneesa's shadow from Chike's perspective.
