It depends on whether the sun is in front or behind you.

∙ 7y agoYour shadow is positioned depending on how sunlight is hitting your body. Walking into sunlight, your shadow is behind you. Walking away from sunlight (so the sun is at your back), your shadow can cast toward the front of you. Lastly, your partial shadow can seem like it is walking beside or almost beside you, again because of your position in reference to the sun's rays hitting your body.

Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?
Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the spreading around the tree?

Why the shadow appear long and some times appear short?
The length of a shadow is governed by the position of the light which shines upon an object. Take yourself for instance, if you stand with your back to a just rising sun all of its light is blocked by your body causing your shadow to be long. If you are able to stand in the same position for a long time you will notice your shadow becoming shorter. This is because the light of the sun shines on a smaller area of your body causing your shadow to shorten. If the sun was directly overhead you would only see a very small shadow around your feet. As the sun lowers in the sky in front of you the reverse happens and your shadow starts to get longer.
