 All together for a shadow to be framed, a protest needs to hinder the light that is being radiated from the light source from hitting the question on which the shadow is to be thrown. 
Since the sun is not a point wellspring of light, we should represent the its rakish size at the Earth's surface. That rakish size is ~0.5 degrees. In this way, light from anyplace on the sun's 0.5 degree plate will strike a point on the Earth.
