If light bounces off objects, why do shadows exist/vary in darkness.

1.01K views

If lights is extremely fast and manages to get to the Sun to the Earth without getting darker. How come light can’t bounce off everything and manage to get into every crevice of Earth. Why are there shadows and why do they vary in shade? They should logically be the same shade right?

Light gets in almost everywhere. There are places where there is zero light and it looks very different from normal dark places. Ive been on a submarine when the power goes out and you literally cannot perceive anything. Usually you are seeing the differences between something that gets 100% of the light vs 10% of the light. Your eye sees that as lit up vs dark or shaded.
