Shadow
Image is formed due to the reflection or refraction of light
Shadows are formed when opaque objects obstruct the path of light.
Image is seen when light comes from the object after reflection or refraction enters the observer's eye.
No light enters the eye from the shadow of the object.
Image gives more information such as colour, structure, etc. about the object.
Shadow does not provide any details about the object but it gives an idea about the shape of the object.
