Why does a shadow Change depending on the time of day?
The shadow is cast by the sun.As the earth rotates on it's axis, the sun appears to move across the sky in an arc.The height and direction of the sun is constantly changing throughout the day and so the shadow will also change. When the sun is high the shadow is short. When the sun is low, the shadow will be long.

The length of the shadow (on a flat, horizontal floor) depends on the height of the Sun. If the Sun is higher in the sky, the shadow will become shorter.

How does the shadow change throughout the day?
Shadows are all about the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates throughout the day, the relative positions of the sun and Earth change. The sun is the primary light source for shadows, and if the light source is changing positions (this is relative to earth), then the shadows will change.
