When the light is thrown on an object, shadow takes place on the opposite direction of the light source. So as the light source moves, the shadow does the same. The sun "moves" because the earth is rotating and revolving around it.

The rotation of the earth causes the appearance of the changing location of the sun across the sky. The change in shadows caused by sunlight are an extention of the geometery involved.
What causes shadow to change?
The position of the sun through out the day? The Earth's rotation changes the angle of the sun as the day passes, so the shadows change based on the position of the sun in the sky. If the sun is up high (around noon), the shadows will be short or not appear to exist (they are under or nearly under the objects). As it gets later in the day, the shadows get longer.

Why is a shadow longer in the summer than winter?
In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, casting shadows that are shorter. In the winter, the sun is lower in the sky, creating longer shadows. This difference in the angle of the sun's rays causes the length of shadows to vary between the seasons.
