What else can I help you with?
When the sun is directly above you do you have a shadow?
No, when the sun is directly above us we don't have shadow. The shadow is under us. I disagree: Most people are bigger around at the hips than at the feet so you will have a shadow around your feet.
How can you tell where the Sun is by looking at your shadow?
By observing the direction and length of your shadow, you can determine the approximate position of the Sun. If your shadow is directly under you, it means the Sun is directly above you (at solar noon). If your shadow is longer and pointing towards the east, it means the Sun is in the west.
When is the shortest shadow cast?
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
When do you see the smallest shadow form and why?
Midday because the sun is right above you.
What causes that shadow that is above the clouds The shadow appears to be the sun reflecting off of the cloud upwardly?
The shadow above the clouds is caused by the phenomenon known as a "cloud shadow." When sunlight hits the tops of clouds, it casts a shadow on the layer of clouds below. If the clouds are thick enough, the sunlight may scatter, creating a shadow that appears to rise above the cloud layer. This effect can be enhanced by the angle of the sun and the specific atmospheric conditions.
How does the position of the sun in the sky relate to the length of the shadow cast by an object?
The position of the sun relates to the length of the shadow cast by an object because, when the sun is above the object there is no shadow yet, when the sun is say to the east of the object a shadow is cast towards the west, the farther the sun for example east the longer the shadow will be towards the west.
How is the shadow of the tree formed?
The shadow of a tree is formed when sunlight is blocked by the tree, creating an area of darkness on the ground. The position of the sun and the angle of the tree's leaves and branches determine the size and shape of the shadow. When the sun is directly above, the shadow appears directly below the tree, and as the sun moves, so does the shadow.
When would you expect to find the longest shadows and why?
sun rise and sun set...becaue the sun is (in a sense) more or less in front of or behind you thus making you shadow cast father rather than if it is above you, your shadow will be short
What time of day will you have hardly any shadow?
The time of day in which you will hardly have any shadow is during 12:00PM or noon. This is because the sun is directly above you, casting little to no shadow.
What is the different positions of shadows in morning noon and afternoon?
Morning: The shadow will be the longest and facing the west as the sun rises in the east Noon: The shadow will be the shortest as the sun is directly above the object Afternoon: The shadow will be slightly longer and facing east as the sun is going to set in the west soon.
Where would the sun have to be to make a shadow in front of you?
Your shadow will be in front of you because shadows will always be in the opposite direction from light sources.
When is your shadow the shortest?
Your shadow is shortest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around noon on a clear day. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to your position, minimizing the length of your shadow.
