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.
