Shade vs. Shadow

SHADE => Protection from the sun

Examples:

e.g. It’s hot. Let’s find some shade to sit in.

e.g. The children played in the shade of the large beach umbrellas.

SHADOW=> It is the “picture” made by something that blocks out light

Examples:

e.g. Brian followed his father around all day like a shadow .

The safest time to exercise outdoors without getting too much sun exposure is when your shadow is longer than your height. When it´s shorter than you are, the sun is too high in the sky and you should limit your sun exposure.
