Sometimes objects are able to block light. An object from which no light can pass through is called opaque. An example is our body. Since light cannot pass through it creates a dark area around the object. So this patch where the light cannot reach is called a shadow. Opaque objects create clear dark shadows.
When light is incident on an opaque object the space behind it is dark as light cannot penetrate thought opaque body. This dark space is called the Shadow of the object.
