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.
Is the day length in the north shorter or longer than the south?
The North has shorter days between the Autumnal equinox and the Spring equinox, and longer days for the other half of the year. In the South, it is the other way around. Averaged over the course of a year the day lengths are the same.

Is the days shorter and nights get longer?
In the northern hemisphere, USA and UK included, during Spring the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, Australia, and South Africa included , during the same period the days become shorter and the nights become longer. Depending on which side of the Equator you are on , the seasons and daylight hours are reversed. During Autumn (Fall)(northern hemisphere), the whole process is reversed in both hemispheres.

Will a shadow be longer a 60 degrees latitude or 10 degree latitude?

Will a shadow ever fall to the north?
The answer is No. A shadow follows you. not N E S W. If your North then yes. If your east then yes. If for south then yes. If your west. then yes. But say if you were south the shadow can't be east it would be north. Ussaly the shadow if behind you. So if your facing north the shadow is basicly south. -Keyla Shyne
Why are days getting shorter in south Florida?
Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice. The tilt of the earth causes days to get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The further north or south you are the more extreme these changes are. (near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)
Which direction would you be facing if your shadow is behind you on a winter morning?
In the UK, because the sun has a shorter journey across the sky, giving short days and long nights, you are likely to be facing East-south-east at sunrise.
How does your noontime shadow change throughout the year?
The specifics change depending on the latitude in question, but the noontime shadow will become shorter as the sun's direct rays of incidence approach the latitude in question and longer as the sun's direct rays of incidence recede from that latitude. For example, if you live at 45 degrees North, your shortest shadow will be on the summer solstice, since the sun's direct rays of incidence are at 23.5 degrees North on that day and will be south of that position on all other days. Conversely, if you live at the equator, your shortest shadows will be on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, since the sun is directly overhead on those days.
