# wouldn't the shadow get
less distinct (lower opacity) the higher it was?

# yup
i think that we've gone too far into the realm of physics considering the object of our attentions is in fact a hovering spherical hamster

# yes, althought you'd expect blurrier edges.
it's what shadows look like on an overcast day.

# imagine if there were two seperate light sources
if the hamster was up high, they'd cast seperate shadows. then as it got closer to the ground they'd start to overlap, and if the hamster was squished out at ground level they'd be totally overlapping
