Both. At sunrise and sunset on a sunny day, your shadow will be very long. As the sun rises and approaches it's zenith at noon, your shadow becomes progessively shorter, then lengthens again throughout the afternoon.

Why does a shadow Change depending on the time of day?
The shadow is cast by the sun.As the earth rotates on it's axis, the sun appears to move across the sky in an arc.The height and direction of the sun is constantly changing throughout the day and so the shadow will also change. When the sun is high the shadow is short. When the sun is low, the shadow will be long.

How is a tree that casts a 28-ft shadow at the same time a 4-ft pole casts a shadow which is 9-ft long?
The height of the tree is in direct proportion to the pole and its shadow
How tall is a tree that casts a 30 ft shadow at the same time an 18 ft pole casts a shadow that is 6 feet long?
It is 90 feet in height
If you're 5 ft 3 inches tall how tall would your shadow be in inches?
It's not possible to give you an answer without knowing the height of your shadow, because the height of a shadow depends on the position of the light (the lower the longer the shadow is). But if the shadow is exactly the same height as you, it would be the same inches in height as you are. To calculate that, just multiply 5 ft x 12, which = 60 inches, then add the other 3 inches to it. That would give you a total of 63 inches.
How high is a tree that casts a 37 ft shadow at the same time a 4foot pole casts a 12 foot shadow?
It works out as 12 feet and 4 inches in height
A young man 150 cm tall cast a shadow that was 200 cm long his father's shadow cast at the same time of day was 240 cm long how tall was his father?
The ratio of the young man's height to his shadow is 150:200 or 3:4 The ratio for the father is the same. His shadow is 240 cm so his actual height is 240*3/4 = 180 cm

How long can a shadow be at ten zero zero am?
The answer depends on: 1. your latitude 2. The time of year 3. The time of day 4. The angle of the sun 5. The height of your object that casts a shadow Note: zero zero am is 2400 hours (military time) or 12:00 am (night time in most locations during most of the year). During some part of the year at the poles, the sun never sets or never rises. When the sun never rises or it is dark, there will be no shadow. When the sun is present, the shadow of an object depends on the angle of the sunlight & the height of the object.
At a certain time of day a person 6 feet tall casts a 4-foot shadow How long is the shadow cast by a 21-foot tree at the same time?
Designate the unknown shadow length by s. Shadows cast at the same time and place are proportional to the height of the object casing the shadow. Therefore: 4/6 = s/21, or s = [4(21)]/6 = 14 feet.
A tree casts a shadow that is 21 feet long at the same time as a fence post casts a shadow that is 6 feet long The fence post is 4 feet tall What is the height of the tree?
Ratio of object to its shadow is the same. So if T is the height of the tree, then T/21 = 4/6 So T = 21*4/6 = 84/6 = 14 feet
