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.
The sun casts the longest shadows immediately after sunrise and immediately before sunset.
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.
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.
The longest shadows typically appear around sunrise and sunset when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This usually occurs during the winter months when the sun is at its lowest angle.

The longest shadows are cast when the sun is low above the horizon - either after dawn and before dusk.
The sun casts the longest shadows during sunrise and sunset, when the sun is at a low angle in the sky. This phenomenon occurs because the sunlight has to travel through a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere, creating longer shadows.

At 0300 there are no shadows from the Sun, it is night time.
When the sun sets, the trees cast long shadows. "Sun" is singular and requires a singular verb: "sets". "Trees" is plural and requires a plural verb: "cast".
As the summer solstice approaches, noontime shadows in New York State become shorter due to the sun's higher position in the sky. Around this time, the sun reaches its zenith at noon, resulting in more direct sunlight and diminished shadow length. This change is particularly noticeable as the longest day of the year approaches, leading to a shift in the angle and intensity of sunlight. Consequently, objects cast shorter and more defined shadows during the midday hours.
Nothing casts a shadow on the sun. The sun is the source of light that produces illuminated and shadowed areas, and shadows always point away from the source of light that produces them.
