It forms a shadow behind you when the sun shines in front of you because you block the sunlight which forms darkness which is basically your shadow.
The sun emits light waves, these light waves hit you and are reflected away (and also absorbed) from their destination, which would have been the objects behind you.
In front of you
Your shadow will be in front of you because shadows will always be in the opposite direction from light sources.
It depends on whether the sun is in front or behind you.

For the same reason that when you walk past a lamp at night, your shadow moves across the wall. The sun shines on one side of the Earth, and out behind the Earth on the other side is a shadow. The sun shines on one side of the moon, and out behind the moon on the other side is a shadow.

When the sun is shining in your face, your shadow will be behind you.
In front of you
When a light (the sun) shines on you or any object, the object is in the way of the sunshine hitting the ground on the opposite side of the object, creating shade, or a shadow.
The sun shines light on both the moon and the Earth. When it shines light on one side of either one, they cast a shadow in space. During an eclipse, the shadow of either the moon or the earth gets cast on the other one. For example, during a solar eclipse the sun, moon, and earth have to be aligned Sun - Moon- Earth. The sun shines light on the moon and the moon's shadow gets cast on the Earth. The middle of the shadow where an observer can't see any light is the umbra. The sides of the shadow where you can see partial light is the preumbra.
because when the sun shines it shines together;)
It has to do withe position of the sun, if the sun is in front of you then your shadow is behind you vice versa and so on and so forth
Because a shadow forms behind an object when a light source shines on it. This happens because the object is solid and light can not travel through the solid object. The light that travels around the object reflects back up and the area that is not reflecting looks darker. That's why! Did this help you?
The lower the sun is behind you, the longer your shadow will stretch before you.
The adjective bright has the adverb form brightly. The sun is bright. The sun shines brightly.
The length of a shadow is governed by the position of the light which shines upon an object. Take yourself for instance, if you stand with your back to a just rising sun all of its light is blocked by your body causing your shadow to be long. If you are able to stand in the same position for a long time you will notice your shadow becoming shorter. This is because the light of the sun shines on a smaller area of your body causing your shadow to shorten. If the sun was directly overhead you would only see a very small shadow around your feet. As the sun lowers in the sky in front of you the reverse happens and your shadow starts to get longer.
