Is a shadow usually longer at mind-day than it is just before sunset?
Yes, a shadow is typically longer at mid-day than just before sunset. This is because the sun is directly overhead at mid-day, creating longer shadows due to the angle of the sunlight. As the sun begins to set, the angle of the sunlight changes, resulting in shorter shadows.
Is the shadow cast by the sun longer in the summer or winter in Alaska?
In any one place, every object has a longer shadow in winter than it has in summer. That fact is an important clue to the reasons for winter and summer.
What it is your shadow in monrning will get?
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.
Why is there a red sunset?
A red sunset occurs when sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere, scattering the shorter blue and green wavelengths. This leaves behind the longer red and orange wavelengths, creating the red hue we see in the sky.
Why do lunar eclipse last longer than solar?
An eclipse is caused by shadows. A Solar eclipse is the moon's shadow on the Earth, while a lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the moon.The Earth is much larger than the Moon, so the Earth casts a bigger shadow, which lasts longer.In a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth; in a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. The Earth is much bigger and its shadow completely covers the Moon and quite a bit more. The Moon's shadow only completely blocks the Sun over a small bit of Earth's surface.
Is a shadow usually longer at mind-day than it is just before sunset?
Yes, a shadow is typically longer at mid-day than just before sunset. This is because the sun is directly overhead at mid-day, creating longer shadows due to the angle of the sunlight. As the sun begins to set, the angle of the sunlight changes, resulting in shorter shadows.
Which date day become longer than night?
The day becomes longer than the night during the spring equinox, which usually occurs around March 20th or 21st in the northern hemisphere. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator and day and night are approximately equal in length. After the spring equinox, days start becoming longer than nights as we move towards summer.
Is your shadow longer at 10 AM in the morning than 1 PM in afternoon?
10 am.
What are the lengths of shadow during the day?
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.
Why is your shadow shorter at noon and longest during sunrise and sunset?
At noon, the sun is directly overhead, causing shadows to be shorter. During sunrise and sunset, the sun is lower on the horizon, casting longer shadows due to the angle of the sunlight hitting objects.
Why does a total eclipse of the moon last longer at a place than a total eclipse of the sun?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Since Earth is larger than the moon, it casts a larger shadow, resulting in a longer eclipse.
Is the shadow cast by the sun longer in the summer or winter in Alaska?

How big is your shadow at 9am?
The size of a shadow depends on the angle of the sun and the object casting the shadow. At 9am, when the sun is relatively low in the sky, your shadow would be longer than at midday when the sun is directly overhead.
Why does a lunar eclipse last longer than solar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
Why do longer faults usually produce longer earthquakes than short faults?
Because it is stronger!
Why is the sunset more colorful than the sunrise?
Various colors are seen during sunrise and sunset because the light travelling through the air is scattered by air particles. Shorter wavelengths like blue and green scatter more than the longer wavelength of red and orange. At sunrise and sunset, the path of the light through the atmosphere is longer so no blue and green are visible and only red and orange light the sky. Sunset colors are more brilliant than sunrise because the evening air contains more particles as compared to the morning air.
