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.
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.
Is the shadow cast by the sun longer in the summer or winter in Alaska?
In any one place, every object has a longer shadow in winter than it has in summer. That fact is an important clue to the reasons for winter and summer.
Where is the shadow cast relation to the sun?
The nearer the sun is to the ground, the longer the shadow casted.
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.

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.
What does it means if when you walk outside on a summer or winter day at noon and do not cast a shadow?
the sun is directly overhead.
What time of the day is a shadow longest?
A shadow is longest in the early morning or late afternoon when the angle of the sun is low in the sky. This occurs during sunrise and sunset when the sun is closest to the horizon, causing objects to cast longer shadows.
