When the sun in at the top where is the shadow?
When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, typically around noon, the shadow of an object is generally at its shortest and falls directly beneath it. This means that the shadow will point straight down, or very close to it, depending on the specific angle of the sun. In locations near the equator, the shadow can be almost nonexistent, while in higher latitudes, it may still extend slightly toward the north.

What direction does the shadow point at night under a street light?
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.
What is the difference between a shadow formed by a point source of light and a extended source?
A shadow formed by a point source of light has distinct, sharp edges due to the single light source, while a shadow formed by an extended source has softer, less defined edges because light is coming from multiple directions. The point source produces a single, intense shadow, while the extended source creates a more diffused shadow.
How can you see earth shadow on earth?

What time would a shadow be at its longest?
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.

How did ancient civilization use a stick in the ground to find the direction north?
Ancient civilizations often used a stick, or gnomon, placed vertically in the ground to determine direction through the shadows it cast. By observing the position and length of the shadow at different times of the day, they could discern the cardinal directions. Specifically, the shadow would point towards true north around noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This method, known as sundial or shadow stick navigation, was a practical way to orient themselves using the sun's movement.
