What happens to a shadow over a day?

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.

When will your shadow be the shortest?

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.
