How can we have multiple shadows from multiple light sources, eg on a pitch?

1.22K views

It seems a silly question but it doesn’t seem to make sense. If you stand in the middle of 4 light sources, one on each side while being the same distance from each one: how can they be strong enough to cast a shadow yet not strong enough to remove the competing shadow from the equally powerful light source?

The other light source is equally powerful, but it’s closer to you than it is to the other light sources.

Your body simply blocks the light from touching the ground, so if that happens to 4 lights, there’s gonna be 4 shadows
