How does the length of your shadow change in the day?
It will Lengthen and shorten during the day, as the angle of the sun changes
How does a shadow change in the day?
The shadow of a solid object is cast by the Sun on the ground. As the Sun appears to cross the sky between dawn and dusk, so the length of the shadow also changes, both in direction and in length on the ground.Put a wooden post a metre high in open ground on a sunny day. Use a watch, and every hour place a small rock where the end of the post's shadow is on the ground. Eventually, you will see by the position of the rocks, just how the shadow of the post changes during the day.
What changes take place in the visible shape of the moon from day to day?
the moon is the black shadow
What causes shadows to change size and direction during a day?
The angle of the earth to the sun changes the direction and size of shadows during the day. Since the earth rotates giving us night and day, the angle at which the suns light is hitting the earth(and you) determine the size/shape of the shadow
When during the day should you look for your shadow?
at noon time

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.
Why does the shadow change during the day?
Shadows are created when something comes between the Sun and the surface upon which the shadow is cast. So if you draw a straight line from the Sun's position in the sky and on through the object that's casting the shadow, you will find that the shadow occurs where the straight line intersects that surface. Let's call that straight line the line of shadow (LOS). And it goes Sun to object, to surface where the shadow lies. But wait, the shadow is moving, very very slowly but it is moving. Remember the LOS determines where the shadow lies upon the surface. So something is changing with the LOS. And that something is the Sun's position in the sky. The Sun rises higher in the sky before noon and sags lower in the sky after noon (approximately). As it rises and lowers, the angle at which the LOS intersects the surface and casts that shadow changes to made the shadow shorter as the Sun lifts and longer as the Sun sets. Bottom line: shadows caused by the Sun change during the day because the position of the Sun in the sky changes from low to high, back to low during the day. And that changes the LOS angle onto the shadowed surface.
