There is no one answer to that as we'd need to know your height and location and at what time of the year to give a precise answer.

At high-noon in winter, your shadow will be longer as the sun is much lower in the sky than in summer. Your shadow is longest at sunrise and sunset and will shorten until high-noon after which it will lengthen.

Why does a lunar eclipse last longer than solar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
Why is the sunset more colorful than the sunrise?
Various colors are seen during sunrise and sunset because the light travelling through the air is scattered by air particles. Shorter wavelengths like blue and green scatter more than the longer wavelength of red and orange. At sunrise and sunset, the path of the light through the atmosphere is longer so no blue and green are visible and only red and orange light the sky. Sunset colors are more brilliant than sunrise because the evening air contains more particles as compared to the morning air.
