Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008815
A region of reduced or absent direct solar radiation caused by an opaque object obstructing the path of sunlight. In meteorology, shadows can influence local surface temperatures and atmospheric stability. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the object's geometry and the sun's angle.
