A sundial is a perfect example of using a shadow to tell the time during the day. As the Sun moves across the sky, the shadow cast by the sundial moves round in a circle, and the circle is marked in hours and minutes.

What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
