Why does your shadow move while the day goes on?

-- The shadow of an object always extends from the object in the directionaway from the light source that produces the shadow.-- If you're outside, the light source that produces your shadow is most likelythe sun.-- The sun moves across the sky, from east to west, during the day.-- So the direction in which your shadow extends from you has to move, fromwest to east, in order to always stay opposite the sun.

Why does shadow move during the day?

The shadow moves during the day because you are a solid, the sunlight can't get through any solid, so your body casts your shadow. and yes, the sun moves. Even if you don't move, you can still see your shadow moving. It is super long in the morning, pointing to the west, then super short in noon, to North or South, and then super long again in the afternoon, pointing to East.


Will a shadow be longer if you move north on the longitude line or smaller?

That completely depends on where you start from. -- If you're in the southern Hemisphere, at latitude more south than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets shorter as you move north. -- If you're in the northern Hemisphere, at latitude more north than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets longer as you move north. -- If you're anywhere between 23.5 south latitude and 23.5 north latitude, then the behavior of the shadow as you move north depends on the time of the year.
