How tall is a tree that casts a 5m shadow?
Any height.When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow. When the Sun is directly overhead (at noon between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer) objects cast no shadow.If you tell us your location and the time you are measuring then there would be a possibility of calculating an answer.At noon on one of the equinoxes in Montpelier VT a 5 meter tree will cast a 5 meter shadow.
Is Louisiana or Wyoming closer to the Tropic of Cancer?
The northwestern islands of Hawaii overlap the Tropic of Cancer near 23.5°N 165°W, although the inhabited main islands are well south. The Florida Keys are just north of the Tropic, extending nearly to 24°N, as the line passes just north of Cuba.
Can you see a plane flying over the Tropic of Cancer from the North Pole if you can see down to the Equator?
If you're at the North Pole, then you can easily see a plane flying over the Tropic of Cancer. However, if your eye is on the ground at the pole, then the plane has to be flying at 5,971 miles above the Tropic of Cancer. Obviously, if you can get up in the air above the pole, then the plane doesn't have to be so high above the Tropic of Cancer in order for you to see it. If you can rent a big fancy balloon and rise, let's say, 667 miles (3.52 million feet) above ground at the pole, then you can see the plane when he's only at that same modest altitude above the Tropic of Cancer. Short Answer: for all practical purposes, one cannot see a plane at the Tropic of Cancer from the North Pole with the naked eye, and not even with a well-clothed eye if the plane's altitude is insufficient.
If a tree cast a shadow of 20 feet how tall is the tree?
That would depend on the angle of light on the tree.Any height.When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow. When the Sun is directly overhead (at noon between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer) objects cast no shadow.If you tell us your location and the time you are measuring then there would be a possibility of calculating an answer.At noon on one of the equinoxes in Montpelier VT (or anywhere at the latitude of 45 degrees north or 45 degrees south) a 20 foot tall tree will cast a 20 foot shadow.
If a tree casts a shadow 50 feet long how tall is the tree?
20 feetAny height.When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow.

How tall is a tree that casts a 48 ft shadow?
No way of telling, it depends on the angle of the sun.Any height.When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow. When the Sun is directly overhead (at noon between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer) objects cast no shadow.If you tell us your location and the time you are measuring then there would be a possibility of calculating an answer.At noon on one of the equinoxes in Montpelier VT (or anywhere at the latitude of 45 degrees north or 45 degrees south) a 48 foot tall tree will cast a 48 foot shadow.
What is the distance in Kilometers from Paris France to the Tropic of Cancer?
A firm figure can't be given, since the exact latitude of the Tropic of Cancer varies slightly, on an amazingly short time scale. So the following must be considered an approximation: The south corner of the headstone of the Arc de Triomphe in the Place Charles de Gaulle is 2,826.22 kilometers north of the Tropic of Cancer. For other spots around town, the distance may of course be somewhat different.
When the Sun is high in the afternoon how will be your shadow?
your shadow will be short
Is a shadow at Long or short?
A shadow is usually longer in the morning and shorter in the afternoon.
When does the shadow of an object short?
When the line from the light source to the surface on which the shadow falls is perpendicular to that surface.
What causes the length of the tree's shadow to change over the months?
The amount of sunshine, where the sun is, and if there is any sun at all. The angle of the light hitting the tree if the sun is high in the sky the Shadow is short for example if the sun is directly over a post then the post will cast no shadow. as the sun moves into a position that causes its light to shine on the side of the post a shadow will appear on the opposite side of the post where it blocks the sun. as the sun seems to assume a relatively lower position compared to the horizon it will make the shadow longer and longer.
What is short in the west and long in the east?
A Shadow :'D
