That would be the day that the noontime sun is lowest in the sky.
At any point north of 23.5 degrees north latitude, that's the day of the Winter solstice,
around December 21, and that range of latitudes takes in every point in the USA.

At what time of day will the sun cast the longest shadow?
The sun casts the longest shadows immediately after sunrise and immediately before sunset.

Yes moon have do shadows due to the craters and rocks, creating a surface “roughness” that casts shadows.

Shadows are longer when the Sun is low in the sky, and are longest at sunrise and sunset. The shortest shadows are seen at "Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun is high in the sky. Over the course of a year, noontime shadows are longest on the winter solstice and shortest on the summer solstice. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is on December 21; the summer solstice is on June 21. Switch these dates for the southern hemisphere, and these dates may vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years.

What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
