An Albatross has a wing span of 4 meters, a plane has a wing span of 40 meters.
The plane is flying at an altitude of 100 meters - at what height will the Albatross create a shadow equivalent in size to that of the plane? N. |

Since the light from the Sun is considered to be virtually parallel, there is no height that the albatross can ascend to equal the size of shadow cast by the plane.
