🔥 Why Doesn’t Fire Have a Shadow?
🌑 What makes a shadow?
A shadow is made when:
- Light hits an object
- The object blocks the light
👉 Solid objects like a ball or a book make shadows.
🔥 What is fire made of?
Fire is not solid.
It is made of:
- Hot glowing gases
- Tiny glowing particles
So fire is see-through and gives off light.
💡 Fire is a light source
- Fire creates its own light
- It does not block light like solid objects do
That’s why fire doesn’t form a clear shadow.
👀 But sometimes you see a faint shadow…
- If fire is in front of a very bright light
- Some smoke or thick flame parts may block a little light
But this shadow is very weak and blurry.
🧠 Easy way to remember
No shadow if there’s nothing solid to block the light
🌟 Fun facts for kids
- A candle flame glows because hot gas is excited
- Smoke can make shadows, but fire usually can’t
- Transparent things don’t make strong shadows either
📌 One-line summary
Fire doesn’t have a shadow because it is made of glowing gases and light, not solid material.
