Problem Description:


The task involves drawing the shadows of two objects based on the position of the sun. The worksheet explains that the position of the shadow depends on where the sun is located.

#### Objects and Sun Positions:
1. Top Image: A giraffe with the sun positioned to the right.
2. Bottom Image: A tree with the sun positioned to the left.

Solution Explanation:



#### Step 1: Understand How Shadows Are Formed
- Shadows are created when an object blocks light from a light source (in this case, the sun).
- The direction and length of the shadow depend on the position of the light source relative to the object.

#### Step 2: Analyze the Top Image (Giraffe)
- The sun is positioned to the right of the giraffe.
- Since the sun is on the right, the shadow will be cast to the left of the giraffe.
- The shadow should extend from the giraffe in a straight line toward the left side of the image.

#### Step 3: Draw the Shadow for the Giraffe
- Draw a shadow directly to the left of the giraffe, ensuring it is proportional to the size of the giraffe.
- The shadow should be elongated and aligned with the direction opposite to the sun.

#### Step 4: Analyze the Bottom Image (Tree)
- The sun is positioned to the left of the tree.
- Since the sun is on the left, the shadow will be cast to the right of the tree.
- The shadow should extend from the tree in a straight line toward the right side of the image.

#### Step 5: Draw the Shadow for the Tree
- Draw a shadow directly to the right of the tree, ensuring it is proportional to the size and shape of the tree.
- The shadow should be elongated and aligned with the direction opposite to the sun.

Final Answer:


- For the giraffe, draw a shadow extending to the left.
- For the tree, draw a shadow extending to the right.

Here is a textual representation of the solution:

```
Top Image (Giraffe):
- Sun is on the right.
- Shadow extends to the left.

Bottom Image (Tree):
- Sun is on the left.
- Shadow extends to the right.
```

Final Answer:
\boxed{
\text{Draw the giraffe's shadow to the left and the tree's shadow to the right.}
}
