1. The moon appears brighter at night because the sky is dark, making its reflected sunlight more visible compared to the bright daytime sky.
2. A shadow is formed when an object blocks light from a source, creating a dark area behind it where the light cannot reach.
3. When light hits a mirror, it reflects off the surface at the same angle it arrived, following the law of reflection.
4. Light travels in a straight line through a uniform medium but can bend (refract) when passing from one medium into another with a different density.
5. The sun is important for life on Earth because it provides the energy needed for photosynthesis in plants, drives weather and climate, and maintains temperatures suitable for living organisms.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of shadows worksheet.
