Common Wrong Answers

“A cloud”

A cloud passes before the sun and can create shadows, especially on the ground, as it blocks sunlight.

“A bird”

A bird flies past the sun but does not typically pass in a way that would not create a shadow, especially if it is close to the ground.

“An airplane”

An airplane can block sunlight when flying high enough, but it does create a shadow on the ground as it moves.
