Apparently, somebody told you that the sun rises in the South. I'm going to tell you
that it rises in the East. So you have two different opinions now, and they can't both
be correct, so you must determine whether either one is correct, and if so, which one.
Here's an experiment you could perform to answer the question by your own observations:
1). Look on the weather page of your local newspaper, and see what time the sun
is expected to rise tomorrow.
2). Get up 1/2 hour before that time, dress, and go outside.
3). Around the published time, start looking around the horizon.
4). Look and see where the sun rises.
If the sky is clear and your investigation is successful, you'll never have to take
anyone else's word for it again.
What else can I help you with?
What direction is north south east west?
east is where the sun sorge, west is where the sun fall, north is the opposite of east and south is the opposite of west.
When the sun is directly above you do you have a shadow?
No, when the sun is directly above us we don't have shadow. The shadow is under us. I disagree: Most people are bigger around at the hips than at the feet so you will have a shadow around your feet.
What determines the shape of a shadow?
The shape of a shadow is determined by the direction of the light source and the object casting the shadow. The angle of the light and the distance between the object and the surface onto which the shadow is cast also play a role in shaping the shadow.
Do tornadoes cast a shadow?
Not usually. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, so unless the sun is at a certain angle, then clouds between the tornado and the sun prevent it from casting a shadow.
On earth the sun appears in the north or west or south or east.?
if you're on the north pole then the answer is the same sometimes the sun appears, in the morning, out of the northeast or southeast depending on the time of year, and can appear across the latitudes as one moves from south north and vice versa.
When does the noontime sun cast its longest shadow?
If you are north of the equator, it's on December 22 or 23. Â If you are south of the equator, it's on June 21 or 22.
Where is the shadow cast relation to the sun?
The nearer the sun is to the ground, the longer the shadow casted.
I live at latitude 29 in the Northern Hemisphere. It is my understanding that since I am North of the Tropic of Capricorn the sun should never cast a shadow towards the South. Here and now a nail casts a shadow towards the SE at 7:17pm. Is that normal?

How do objects cast a shadow?
From the sun
How does the position of the sun in the sky relate to the length of the shadow cast by an object?
The position of the sun relates to the length of the shadow cast by an object because, when the sun is above the object there is no shadow yet, when the sun is say to the east of the object a shadow is cast towards the west, the farther the sun for example east the longer the shadow will be towards the west.
When will your shadow be the shortest?
The shortness of your shadow depends both where you are on Earth you are and when you are there.If you stand on the Earth between the Tropics of Cancer (North Tropic ) at 23°26′13.9″ N and Capricorn (South Tropic) at 23°26′13.9″ S at noon your shadow will be directly overhead at some time of the year and will be as small as it can be. The date will range between the Summer Solstice (North), the equinoxes (equator) and the Winter Solstice (south). North or south of the two Tropics your shadow will be shortest at noon on the solstices.
When is the shortest shadow cast?
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
Where is the sun at noon?
At noon, the Sun would cross the meridian, wherever you live.September is close to an equinox; if you live at the Equator, the Sun would be at the zenith. For every degree further north that you live, the Sun would be a degree south of the zenith. For example, if you live at 50 degrees latitude North, the Sun would be 40 degrees above the horizon (towards the South) i.e., 50 degrees from the zenit.
Does shadows fall to the east in the winter?
Shadows fall away from the Sun. In the morning, the Sun is in the east, and the shadow points west. Similarly, in the afternoon, the shadow points east. This has nothing to do with summer or winter. In the winter, the Sun is further south (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere), and the shadow will go further north. If you live in the southern hemisphere, the directions are reversed.
Which direction does shadow point at midday?
The shadow points directly south at midday in the northern hemisphere and directly north at midday in the southern hemisphere. This is because the sun is at its highest point in the sky at midday, casting shadows directly opposite the sun's position.
