Haha! Trick question. If the lamp is directly over the post, then there will be no shadow.
A2. But where I live in the suburbs, all the street lamps are mounted on the end of a 2m 'horizontal' arm.
The shadow of an object under a street light will point away from the light source, opposite to where the light is coming from. This is because the light source casts the object's shadow in the direction opposite to its position.
By observing the direction and length of your shadow, you can determine the approximate position of the Sun. If your shadow is directly under you, it means the Sun is directly above you (at solar noon). If your shadow is longer and pointing towards the east, it means the Sun is in the west.
My shadow would be directly under me at 8 am, given that the sun is typically in the eastern sky during morning hours. This positioning causes objects to cast their shadows in the opposite direction of the sunlight.
Constellations rise in the East and proceed westward during the night as the Earth rotates under them.
Well, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The shadow always points the opposite direction of the sun. Therefore, in the morning, the shadow will point west. At night, the shadow will point east. :) Hope I helped!
Street Lights stay on in the night as they have a light detection unit on the top, if the sensor falls under shadow it turns on.

Next time you go for a walk at night, walk under a streetlight, and watch your shadow on the ground. While you're watching your shadow, think about how the sun moves across the sky during the day.

Well, well, well, look who's trying to be all mysterious with a riddle. The answer you're looking for is "a shadow." Yeah, I know, mind-blowing stuff. So next time you're out in the rain or under the moonlight, just remember your shadow is taking a rain check.

It is not always cooler under an umbrella. Just as an umbrella can shelter you from rain it can also shelter you from the direct rays coming from the sun. When it does so it creates a shadow and the shadow is cooler than the full sun. However just as an umbrella will not shelter you from rain when it is not raining, an umbrella does not provide a shadow at night or on overcast days, so you will not be cooler under an umbrella then.
night and sometimes day
It is wiser to sleep under a tree during the day than at night because... During the day, in presence of sunlight, plants use up carbon dioxide and release oxygen for photosynthesis. But during the night plants can't photosynthesize as there is no sunlight, which is needed for photosynthesis. So instead of taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen, they do the opposite. Therefor there is an increased level of carbon dioxide in the air. If someone is sleeping under a tree at night the increased level of carbon dioxide will affect their health. So sleeping under a tree at day time is wiser then sleeping under a tree at night time.

Yes Right
