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.

How can you tell where the Sun is by looking at your shadow?

By observing the direction and length of your shadow, you can determine the approximate position of the Sun. If your shadow is directly under you, it means the Sun is directly above you (at solar noon). If your shadow is longer and pointing towards the east, it means the Sun is in the west.


How is the shadow of the tree formed?

The shadow of a tree is formed when sunlight is blocked by the tree, creating an area of darkness on the ground. The position of the sun and the angle of the tree's leaves and branches determine the size and shape of the shadow. When the sun is directly above, the shadow appears directly below the tree, and as the sun moves, so does the shadow.

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 the Sun is high in the afternoon how will be your shadow?

How can you tell time from shadows?

If you place yourself on the equator at a the time of an equinox, then at mid day your shadow falls directly under your feet because the Sun is directly above you. As the Sun rises to this position and set form it, you shadow will fall to one side of you and the length of this shadow will depend on the height of the Sun in the sky, the shorter it is the higher the sun will be. Thus from the length and position of your shadow you can tell what time it is. Long shadows happen in the morning or evening and short shadows happen towards mid day.
