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.


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.


When does the sun have the longest shadow?

The time of day in which your shadow is longest is right before sunset, but early enough that there is still a good amount of sunlight. Your shadow is at it's shortest at 12 noon. As the sun goes further down, you are blocking more and more of its rays. The same could be said in the morning as the sun is rising. You will cast a long shadow that grows shorter until the sun is directly overhead.

How can you tell the time using a shadow clock?

To tell time using a shadow clock, place a stick upright in the ground and mark its shadow at regular intervals throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow will move as well, allowing you to estimate the time based on the position of the shadow in relation to the marked intervals.
