Will a shadow be longer if you move north on the longitude line or smaller?

That completely depends on where you start from.
-- If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, at latitude more south than 23.5 degrees,
then the shadow gets shorter as you move north.
-- If you're in the northern Hemisphere, at latitude more north than 23.5 degrees,
then the shadow gets longer as you move north.
-- If you're anywhere between 23.5 south latitude and 23.5 north latitude, then
the behavior of the shadow as you move north depends on the time of the year.
