Which month is the sun the lowest in the sky?
December in the Northern Hemisphere and June in the Southern Hemisphere.
Does the Sun move in the sky from north to south each day?
The Sun does move from North to South in the sky (or the other way) just a little bit each day. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun each day. So, in the winter the Sun is lower in the sky than in the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere that means the Sun is further South in the sky.
Which day would you expect the sun to be lowest in the sky?
For anyone in the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on December 21.For anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on June 21.For anyone on the Equator, the sun is lowest in the sky on both of those occasions.(Of course, we're talking about its altitude at Noon, not at sunrise and sunset.)

When the sun reaches its highest or lowest part in the sky?
Highest is at noon, and the lowest is at dawn and dusk.
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky winter at noon or spring at noon?
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
What time of day are shadows shorter?
Midday or the time at which the Sun is highest in the sky and therefore offers the lowest angle of incidence between itself and a freestanding object.
