What are exactly shadows?
Shadows are the sun's rays that are being blocked. If the sun is facing the front half of your body, of course there won't be direct sunlight behind you. This is called a shadow. Where the sun's light cannot be reached. Hope this helped!!
How does the sun cause shadows?
The sun gives off light which in turn causes shadows where sunlight is absent. That's why when the sun is behind you, you cast a shadow in front of you.
Why the shadows are tallest in the morning?
Shadows appear tallest in the morning because the sun is low on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of sunlight. As the day progresses, the sun rises higher, reducing the length of shadows.
When its night time is the earth facing the sun or facing away from the sun?
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.

Why are shadows longer in the morning and evening?
shadows are longer in the morning and evening because the earth is rotating and when the earth is facing the sun it is day and when it isn't it is night
Are your shadows short at sunset?
No. Because of the angle of the sun, your shadow will be longest at when the sun is rising or setting. It is shortest at noon, when your shadow is directly under you.
Is the shadow long or short in the evening?
The length of a shadow in the evening depends on the position of the sun. In the evening, when the sun is lower in the sky, shadows tend to be longer than during midday when the sun is directly overhead.
Do shadows change during the day?
Yes. The shadows vary with how high above the horizon the Sun is. Close to the horizon = long shadows. Straight above = short shadow. Your powers of observation will show you that they do. Continuously.
What is the duration of Shadows in the Sun?
The duration of Shadows in the Sun is 1.67 hours.
How the sun makes shadows?
the sun makes shadows by reflecting of something
What causes shadow to change?
The position of the sun through out the day? The Earth's rotation changes the angle of the sun as the day passes, so the shadows change based on the position of the sun in the sky. If the sun is up high (around noon), the shadows will be short or not appear to exist (they are under or nearly under the objects). As it gets later in the day, the shadows get longer.
