You wont always see your shadow!

The sun must be shining against you if you see you shadow.

But if you do see your shadow, this is how it happens...

You are standing in the way of the sun rays, so you are like the wall. You can see you wall (shadow) because that is the only place the sun isn't shining!

Hope this helps ya!

It is something to do with the solar Radiation or radiant heat as it travels in straight lines and if its in a cloudy day you cant because the radiant heat energy travels in straight lines.

How does a shadow change in the day?

The shadow of a solid object is cast by the Sun on the ground. As the Sun appears to cross the sky between dawn and dusk, so the length of the shadow also changes, both in direction and in length on the ground.Put a wooden post a metre high in open ground on a sunny day. Use a watch, and every hour place a small rock where the end of the post's shadow is on the ground. Eventually, you will see by the position of the rocks, just how the shadow of the post changes during the day.

Why does the triangle tower have no shadow?

Everything has a shadow. I think maybe because the shadow is cast upon it's self. Every object that stands in light casts a shadow, unless that object is light (produces light). A light bulb illuminated on a sunny day,has no shadow of the illumined parts. A flashlight in the sun light is a waste, a flame from a lighter on a sunny day is almost invisible. If an object casts no shadow, then, that object is light. I like to describe it as, (concerning people) a humble person casts no shadow.


How does a shadow change during the day?

When you stand in the sun , your body is a virtual sundial.When it is high noon, you will see little or no shadow . As the sun goes down , your shadow will move to the right , and act like the little hand on the face of a clock.In the morning , you will see your shadow on your left [ keep your back to the sun to see the time ] With practice , you can get pretty accurate.


What time during the day is your shadow the same height as you?

Both. At sunrise and sunset on a sunny day, your shadow will be very long. As the sun rises and approaches it's zenith at noon, your shadow becomes progessively shorter, then lengthens again throughout the afternoon.
