Well, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The shadow always points the opposite direction of the sun. Therefore, in the morning, the shadow will point west. At night, the shadow will point east. :)
Hope I helped!

Now, that shadow "moves" on the earths surface by two different mechanisms:
a) the moon continues to move around the earth, so the shadow moves,
b) the earth rotates on its axis, which actually means that the earth's surface is moving under the shadow.

You can see your shadow because there is some light still. A street light or the moon for example. If it was pitch black, you would not be able to see your shadow.

It should carefully noted shadows are dependent on secondary or reflected light= some light is necessary to produce them. a story about a relative of mine who worked ( in a civilian capacity) at the Armory and was coming home late at night- and was (Guided) by the shadow of maybe the Stuyvesant statue ( nowhere:s near the armory) tends to evaporate on first glance- or prima facie!

and shadows always point away from the sun.
