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.
The sun is highest at noon, therefore any shadows are short. When the sun is low, at sunrise and sunset, the shadows will be long.
Shadows become shorter only during the morning (before noon). Shadows are longest at sunrise and sunset, when the angle with the surface is greatest.
Shadows caused by the sun are shortest at midday and longest just after sunrise and just before sunset.
No - shadows at sunrise are long.
As can be observed on any sunny day, the shadows are longest at sunrise and at sunset.
NOOOOO- that's Sunset.
Long shadows are cast at sunset when the sun is at its lowest. The times of sunset (and sunrise) are readily available and may often be found in diaries.
The sun casts the longest shadows immediately after sunrise and immediately before sunset.
Sunrise = Alba, Sunset = tramonto
Shadows are the longest when it is dawn or night. In the afternoon, the sun is over us, which makes our shadow short!
In mid-latitudes, yes. In high summer, shadows at noon are extremely short - almost non-existent. At sunrise and sunset, they are somewhat long. In wintertime, shadows are moderately long even at noon, and very long at sunrise and sunset. At the equator, though, shadows change little if at all year-round. Lauryn is awesome!
