The length of the shadow (on a flat, horizontal floor) depends on the height of the Sun. If the Sun is higher in the sky, the shadow will become shorter.

Why do shadows change positions during the day?

Shadows change positions during the day due to the movement of the sun across the sky. The angle of the sunlight hitting an object affects the length and direction of the shadow it casts. As the sun rises and sets, the position of objects and therefore their shadows will change accordingly.


Movement that causes shadows to change?

The movement of the sun across the sky during the day causes shadows to change. As the position of the sun changes, the angle and length of shadows cast by objects also change. This daily movement of the sun is responsible for the continuous shifting of shadows throughout the day.


How do shadows change during a day?

Shadows occur when the Earth rotates and the position of the sun appears to change. Therefore, the position of the sun's rays hit the object at different angles causing a shadow to change shape.


What factors would affect the length of the day?

The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.


Every 7 days the length of daylight changes by several minutes?

Yes, the length of daylight changes gradually throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This change is most noticeable during the equinoxes when day and night are nearly equal in length. The speed and direction of change vary depending on the latitude of a location.

Does internode length change during growth?

Yes, internode length can change during growth. Internodes are the segments between nodes on a plant stem, and they elongate as the plant grows to space out the nodes and allow for optimal light exposure and airflow. Factors such as light, water, nutrients, and hormones can influence the rate of internode elongation.
