At sunrise and sunset, shadows are longest because the sun is low on the horizon. As the sun rises or sets, the light is more spread out, leading to elongated shadows. This effect is due to the angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface.

Does shadow changes during different seasons?

In mid-latitudes, yes. In high summer, shadows at noon are extremely short - almost non-existent. At sunrise and sunset, they are somewhat long.
