Hi,
there is another problem that i have been trying to figure out for the past
week, but i'm just starting to give up.
The problem is that there arent any shadows. Not only on the other side of the
sphere but also when its in front of another nothing happens.
Also when i dont put "ambiet" the spheres just get dark on both sides, still no
shadow.
here is the code:

#include "colors.inc"

camera {
        location <5,10,-60>
        look_at <0,0,0>
        angle 25
        }

light_source {
        <0,0,0>


               }


// słońce
 sphere {
     <0,0,0>, 10
   pigment {
        bozo
                turbulence 5
         color_map {
        [0.0 color <1,0,0>]
        [0.25 color <1,1,0>]
        [1.0 color <1,0.65,0>]
        }
     scale 3
   }
   normal {bumps 1.0}
   finish {ambient 1}

 scale 1/6




}


///////////////////////////////////////////

union
        {
        //ziemia
object        {  sphere {
        <0,0,0>, 3.7
   pigment {
        agate
                turbulence 1.5
         color_map {
         [0.0 color <1,1,1>]
         [0.10 color <0,0.5,0>]
         [1.0 color <0,0,1>]
         }
      scale 2
     }
  finish {ambient 0.8
              diffuse 0.5}

   scale 1/6
   rotate <0,23,0>
   rotate <0,-6260*clock,0>



 }   }

 object
  //księżyc
   {sphere {
        <8,0,0>, 1.5
   pigment {
        granite
                turbulence 1.4
         color_map {
         [0.0 color <1,1,1>]
         [0.10 color <.5,.5,.5>]
         [1.0 color <.8,.8,.8>]
         }
      scale 2
     }
       normal {bumps 1.0}

      finish {
      ambient 0.5
      brilliance 0.5 }

   scale 1/6
    rotate <5,-4680*clock,0>

 }
}

translate <9,0,0>
 rotate <0,-360*clock,0>
 }


thanks for help :))

hmmm... post screwed up here's what i meant to say:

try the looks_like modifier on the light source... use that first
sphere you have defined just after the light source in the looks_like 
definition

You have hidden your light source inside at least one opaque sphere.
So I think that your problem is not a lack of shadows...

i think the 1st sphere after the light source is the sun... lol didn't 
account for that 2nd object

Ok. After re-indenting I see that the last sphere (the moon ?) is in the union
with the earth sphere - and it is moved away from the origin, so the light
source is inside a single opaque sphere only.

So your suggestion to use looks_like (the sun sphere) for the light source is
the way to go.

because if i change it from ambient it's bearly wisible

thanks anyway, i will try to figure out something
