It will Lengthen and shorten during the day, as the angle of the sun changes
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.
The shadow of a solid object is cast by the Sun on the ground. As the Sun appears to cross the sky between dawn and dusk, so the length of the shadow also changes, both in direction and in length on the ground.Put a wooden post a metre high in open ground on a sunny day. Use a watch, and every hour place a small rock where the end of the post's shadow is on the ground. Eventually, you will see by the position of the rocks, just how the shadow of the post changes during the day.
Because the sun's change in apparent motion across the sky results in a change in the angle of the shadow that is cast.
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 earth is constantly moving in its orbit around the sun so the angular relationship between the sun and the earth's equatorial plane is always changing. This is because the earth's axis remains oriented toward the same part of the sky all the way through its orbit. Since this relationship determines the length of a shadow it too must constantly change. More specifically, the height of the sun changes from day to day. In the summer it is highest and in the in winter lowest. So as the the days go by from say, winter to summer, the sun gets a little higher each day,and thus your shadow shorter

That depends upon the time of day, which day of the year it is and where the person is. The shadow length depends upon the angle of the sun above the horizon: shadow_length = height_of_person ÷ TAN(angle_of_sun_above_horizon)
Depends what time of day it is ... how high the sun is. It keeps changing all day. No shadow at all at night.
yes. All the way around the equator the day length doesn't change.
the position of the sun
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length

Depending on which angle the sun is in relation to your body your shadows length can change.
You need more information to solve this problem. The length of a shadow depends on the angle of the sun which depends on the time of day.
