The answer a mother would give to question 3 is simple "ask your father".

Dear All,

Widely reported in U.K. news reports
today are the top five questions
that children ask their mothers:

  1) Why is water wet?

  2) Where does the sky end?

  3) What are shadows made of?

  4) Why is the sky blue?

  5) How do fish breathe under water?

I am delighted to note that children
are seemingly so interested in our
subject area; questions 2, 3 and 4 are
definitely sundial related!

Clearly we should try to exploit this
enthusiasm.  Meantime...

Could some Mum on this list please let
us know the answer she gives to Q3?
