Shadows are longer when the Sun is low in the sky, and are longest at sunrise and sunset. The shortest shadows are seen at "Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun is high in the sky. Over the course of a year, noontime shadows are longest on the winter solstice and shortest on the summer solstice. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is on December 21; the summer solstice is on June 21. Switch these dates for the southern hemisphere, and these dates may vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years.
