Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The shadow of a flying airplane cannot be seen on the earth's surface because the umbra region cannot reach the earth. This is because the airplanes fly at high altitudes and are too small compared to the light source. In this case, the light source is the Sun, which is farther from the earth's surface.
The correct statement would be, that the shadow of a flying airplane cannot be seen on earth.
