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
At what time of the day would you expect to find the shortest shadows and why?
Shadows are the shortest when the sun is high in the sky. This is because when the sun is high in the sky, sunlight is striking the ground at an almost right angle making a short shadow. If the sun would be directly overhead, there would be no shadow.
Why is your shadow shorter at noon and longest during sunrise and sunset?
During the summer your shadow can appear to be shorter. This appearance is in direct relation to the Earth's rotation around the sun.
