The shortest shadow occurs at noon.
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
If you spend enough time standing around, during a sunny day, watching your shadow, you can observe that it will quite long early in the morning, and it gradually gets shorter as you approach noon; after noon it starts to get longer again. Then at night time, it is gone. Although moonlight can also cast a shadow, much fainter than the shadow you can get with sunlight.
Noon (standard time).
The shadow of a flag pole changes over a year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the shadow is shorter at noon as the sun is higher in the sky. In the winter, the shadow is longer at noon as the sun is lower in the sky. Additionally, the length of the shadow will also vary depending on the latitude of the location.
You should look for your shadow when the sun is shining at its peak, around midday. This is when the sun is highest in the sky, causing your shadow to be the shortest.
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
There will be no shadow because the sun will be directly over your head on the equator at 12 noon.
There is no one answer to that as we'd need to know your height and location and at what time of the year to give a precise answer. Generally, though, we can say that at high-noon in summer, your shadow will have minimal length as the sun is more directly above you. At high-noon in winter, your shadow will be longer as the sun is much lower in the sky than in summer. Your shadow is longest at sunrise and sunset and will shorten until high-noon after which it will lengthen.

at noon the shadow is point sized {smaller} and in morning and evening the shadow is the longest.

The shadow cast in sunshine is shortest when the sun is at its highest, that is, at local noon. In general, that is not civil clock time noon. Several websites can tell you your local noon. Try the United States Naval Observatory, for example: www.usno.navy.mil
the shadow would be longer in the winter i couldn't tell you why, though
