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.
Your shadow is shortest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around noon on a clear day. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to your position, minimizing the length of your shadow.
At the time of Sun Rise and Sunset... or we can say at early morning and late evening...
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.
The shadow from your head is located at the center of a rainbow. This occurs because rainbows are formed opposite the sun in the sky at a 42-degree angle. The center of the rainbow is directly opposite the sun, which is why the shadow of your head aligns with the center of the rainbow.
The shadows are shorter at noon because the sun is higher thus not casting a longer shadow put an object in the sun at noon then watch as the sun throughout the day the object will cast a longer and longer shadow as the sun starts to go down
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
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.
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.
The time of day in which you will hardly have any shadow is during 12:00PM or noon. This is because the sun is directly above you, casting little to no shadow.
Your shadow is shortest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around noon on a clear day. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to your position, minimizing the length of your shadow.
The position of the sun affects the length and direction of your shadow. When the sun is directly overhead (at its zenith), your shadow will be shortest and directly beneath you. As the sun moves lower in the sky, your shadow will lengthen and shift in direction depending on the angle of the sunlight.
At noon, or when the sun is in the middle of the sun is in the middle of the sky. It is directly above you so it casts arely any shadow. One could argue that it is shortest at night, when it is non-existent, but that technically means that there is no shadow to measure.
Morning: The shadow will be the longest and facing the west as the sun rises in the east Noon: The shadow will be the shortest as the sun is directly above the object Afternoon: The shadow will be slightly longer and facing east as the sun is going to set in the west soon.
Why, under you of course!
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, your shadow will be shorter and appear directly beneath you. This is because the angle of the Sun is more overhead, resulting in a shorter shadow length.
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.
