Noon (standard time).
The shadow of an object on a flat horizontal surface starts out long , pointing west. As the day progresses the shadow shortens and in the Northern hemisphere moves north of the object becoming shortest and pointing due north when it is noon local solar time. The shadow lengthens and points more westerly later on in the afternoon.
Directly under the streetlight there is no shadow. If an object is not directly under the light then the shadow starts at the base of the object and points away from the light.
i have no idea :))
This can refer to the shadow the moon casts in space. If it touches the earth there is a solar eclipse at that point. It can also mean the shadows cast by objects when there is bright moonlight.
The shortness of your shadow depends both where you are on Earth you are and when you are there.If you stand on the Earth between the Tropics of Cancer (North Tropic ) at 23°26′13.9″ N and Capricorn (South Tropic) at 23°26′13.9″ S at noon your shadow will be directly overhead at some time of the year and will be as small as it can be. The date will range between the Summer Solstice (North), the equinoxes (equator) and the Winter Solstice (south). North or south of the two Tropics your shadow will be shortest at noon on the solstices.
In the UK, the shadow is likely to fall (point) towards West-north-west.
In the southern hemisphere, the shortest shadow during the day will point North
The answer is No. A shadow follows you. not N E S W. If your North then yes. If your east then yes. If for south then yes. If your west. then yes. But say if you were south the shadow can't be east it would be north. Ussaly the shadow if behind you. So if your facing north the shadow is basicly south. -Keyla Shyne
The Shadow in the North was created in 1986.
In the northern hemisphere, the sun is generally in the southern half of the sky. Then, at noon, a shadow cast by anything in New York will point approximately North.
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.

at the North Pole
From September 21 until March 21, the shortest shadow points north from the equator. From March 21 until September 21, the shortest shadow points south from the equator.
the compass would point north because it Always points north unless you are at the north pole. :)
it would be long cause the Sun is getting lower and would heat your feet and feet is the beginning of your body and would make a long shadow. sometimes longer than you!
