Any puzzle will help your child with critical thinking skills so sudoku will be good for that. Suduku has numbers in it but it does not involve any math so it wont help your son do better in math.

The longest noontime shadows occur at the winter solstice, when the Sun is lowest in the sky. Outside the tropics, the Sun is never directly overhead.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Shadows are shortest at noon, longest at sunrise and sunset.
At noon, the Sun is at its highest point, and the closer it is to directly overhead, the smaller the shadows caused by it will be. Standing directly under an overhead light will demonstrate this.

∙ 12y agoFor locations outside the tropics, the Sun is lower in the sky during winter time. Even at noon, it will not be directly overhead, and at the winter solstice will cast the longest noontime shadow. This is Dec. 21st in the northern hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe longest noontime shadow would be when the Sun is at its lowest in the sky at noon. This would be mid winter, or the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere (around Dec 21st). For the southern hemisphere, the shortest day is around the 21st June.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe answer is Summer, (June 21st) because of Earth's position on it's axis, and the position it is in, in a revolution. Since we are in the Northern Hemisphere, (I am in U.S.A, just in case you live somewhere else,) the Earth's tilt causes the sun to align or nearly align to our horizon, which causes a shadow to be longer. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, it would be opposite. Same explanation, but different time period and position in revolution.

The Sun is lower in the sky in the winter months, this creates longer shadows.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoSolar noon shadows are longer in winter than in summer. The solar noon shadow in summer is at its shortest length when the Sun is at it highest point along the ecliptic.

When are shadows shortest?
Shadows are shortest at noon, when the Sun is overhead.
What time of day is the shadows the tallest?
Just as the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is then that the sun is at its lowest, so the shadows are longest, indeed infinitely so.
What time of day is it when shadows are getting shorter?
Shadows become shorter only during the morning (before noon). Shadows are longest at sunrise and sunset, when the angle with the surface is greatest.
Why do shadows get longer and shorter?
Shadows change length during the day because as the earth rotates on its axis, the angle between the sun and any given point on the earth changes.
Why are shadows shorter in the summer?
At noon in Summer, the Sun is high in the sky, so the shadows are shorter. At noon in Winter, the Sun is low in the sky, so the shadows are longer. A winter sun is more likely to dazzle you, as it is lower in the sky throughout its travel between dawn to dusk.
Where is the sun when the shadows are the longest?
The longest shadows are cast when the sun is low above the horizon - either after dawn and before dusk.
At what time of day will the sun cast the longest shadow?
The sun casts the longest shadows immediately after sunrise and immediately before sunset.
During the daytime when does the sun cast the longest shadow?
As can be observed on any sunny day, the shadows are longest at sunrise and at sunset.
When are shadows the longest 1200 or 300?
At 0300 there are no shadows from the Sun, it is night time.
Why does the sun cast the longest shadow in the winter?
For a given shadow object, and at a given time of the day, the shadows will be longer in winter, for then the Sun will be lowest in the sky
What position is the sky is the sun when shadows are at their longest?
in the horzion by anthony greco
What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
How shadows change size during a day?
shadow will become short when it was xiawu and no shadow at night! haha At noon, when the sun aerial, and shadows is the shortest. When the sun goes down, the shadows change into the longest.
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
Why trees cast shadows?
They block out the light from the sun.
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.
What happens to shadows at sunrise and sunset?
At sunrise and sunset, shadows are longest because the sun is low on the horizon. As the sun rises or sets, the light is more spread out, leading to elongated shadows. This effect is due to the angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface.
