What is the occlusion shadow?

What is a core shadow?
The core shadow is the dark band visible where light and shadow meet. It is the point at which light can no longer reach the form to illuminate it. It is the darkest area of the shadow on the sphere (the “form shadow”) because it is least affected by reflected light.
What is light and shadow?
Light travels in straight lines. When light reaches an object, it can travel through the object if the object is transparent. When an object blocks the light’s path, then darkness appears on the other side. This darkness is called a shadow. The sun is a source of light that when hits an object causes shadows.
What is light and shadow in art?

The farther a cast shadow is from the object the lighter and softer and less defined becomes its edges. Form shadow: A form shadow is the less defined dark side on an object not facing the light source.
