# shadows increase in size the further away from the sun you are,
hence a big shadow for moon, tiny shadow for us in comparison.

i had to think bout it too :)

# on the whole

# hmm
i do believe you are correct.... it would explain why when i stand atop a bridge and my shadow casts down on the ground below it looks as though i am a giant...

i am actually a giant though, now that i think about it

# i think
the distance between you and the thing you are casting the shadow on has more of an effect than getting 6 ft nearer the sun, though but..

still fantastic :)
