Is your shadow bigger when your nearer to the light or further away?
Your shadow appears smaller when you are nearer to the light source and larger when you are further away. This is because the closer you are to the light source, the more direct and concentrated the light is, resulting in a sharper shadow with less dispersion. Conversely, the further away you are, the light is more spread out, causing your shadow to appear larger.
Would light weaken the further away it was from its source?
No light is composed of massless particles called "photons", the reason some lights such as torches, seem to weaken the further they get from the torch, is because the light from a torch is not as focused as the light from a laser beam, the photons that make up the light, simply spread out over greater distances. Photons themselves do not weaken, they will travel until they reach an object they cannot pass through.
How does a torch light works?
exactly like light from the sun.. out and away from the burning part..
How do you make an object's shadow bigger?
To make an object's shadow bigger, increase the distance between the object and the light source. The further away the light source is from the object, the larger and more diffuse the shadow will appear. Alternatively, you can use a larger light source or diffuse the light to create a softer, larger shadow.
Which number is bigger 16.25 or 16.254?
If you rewrite the number 16.25 as 16.250 it becomes clear that 16.254 is larger by .004 If you are having difficulty imagining that .004 is significant, an object that is 16.254 light years away is 23.52 billion miles further away than an object that is 16.25 light years away.
Is Neptune further away and smaller than venus?

What gives off light and heat like the sun but is much further away?
Our Sun is a star, our star. The stars we see in the night sky are just like the Sun (some are much bigger but most are smaller) but we see them a points of light because they are so far away.

When an object is moved closer to the light source will the shadow become bigger or smaller?
There are many things that could happen when an object is moved nearer to a light or further away. It could change temperatures.

Which on is bigger 0.6 or 0.5 and why?
You must be stupid. 0.6 because it is further away from 0, thus causing it to be "bigger." Think before you ask.
