What else can I help you with?
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky winter at noon or spring at noon?
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
Why are shadows the shortest at 12 noon?
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
When are shadows shortest?
Shadows are shortest at noon when the sun is directly overhead, creating a smaller angle between the sunlight and the object casting the shadow. As the angle increases in the morning and afternoon, shadows lengthen.
At what time of the day would you expect to find the shortest shadows and why?
You would expect to find the shortest shadows around noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the angle of the sun's rays are more directly overhead, resulting in shorter shadows.
What time will the shadow of the stick be the shortest?
The shadow of the stick will be the shortest during midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. At this time, the angle of the sun's rays hitting the stick is the smallest, resulting in a shorter shadow.
When is the shortest shadow cast?
The shortest shadow is at noon because the sun is directly above you
Why is a shadow smallest in noon?
That is not necessarily the case. Since the midpoint of daylight hours is not necessary at 12:00.
What time of the day is the shadow smallest?
At noon (12:00PM) because that is the time when the sun is on its highest point in the sky.
How much shadow is shown at noon?
The shortest shadow occurs at noon.
What time of the day are shadow the shortest?
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
What time of day is your shadow the shortest?
At mid-day or when the sun is as close to overhead of you as possible. At this time, your shadow will be directly below you and not long, as it is at sunrise or sunset. If you want which day in a year the Shadow likely to be smallest than it is June 22
Where would your shadow be at noon if you lived closer to the equator?
There will be no shadow because the sun will be directly over your head on the equator at 12 noon.
When is a smaller shadow formed?
at noon the shadow is point sized {smaller} and in morning and evening the shadow is the longest.
What month is it in the Philippines if the shadow of a vertical flagpole at noon time is pointing southward?
It would be December in the Philippines if the shadow of a vertical flagpole is pointing southward at noon time. This is because in December, during the winter solstice, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky, causing shadows to be cast towards the south at noon.
What time of day is the shadow shortest?
Noon, because the sun is directly overhead.
What if your horse might be fast but still it cannot beat this in a race While it might be smaller than your horse at noon it can be quite larger at other times of the day At night you will have trou?
Shadow Shadow follows horse around. At noon, sun is above, and shadow is smallest. at different times of days it's bigger - DaveyBoy Bay Sever - DunThoroughbred From All Servers Except White!!! :) hope you got it right guys!
At what time of the day would shadow be at its shortest?
noon
