Because the length of your shadow, is dependent on the position of the sun. The higher the sun is in the sky, the shorter your shadow is. When the sun is low on the horizon in early morning or late evening, you present a larger 'image' and therefore your shadow is bigger.

The closer the light source the shadow is what?
The closer the light source the larger is the shadow. You can understand this effect using the paraxial aproximation of light theory. If you draw lines from the light source to the edges of an object, there is an angle (call it alpha) between the these lines and the orthonormal vector to the object. The shorter the distance between the light and the object, the higher is alpha (because the height of the object is always the same): tan(alpha) = (height of the object)/(distance between light and object) Of course the relationship between the height of the shadow and the angle is the same: tan(alpha) = (height of the shadow)/(distance to the wall in which the shadow is proyected) So, the higher the angle alpha (and closer the distance between light and object), the heigher is the shadow.
If you're 5 ft 3 inches tall how tall would your shadow be in inches?
It's not possible to give you an answer without knowing the height of your shadow, because the height of a shadow depends on the position of the light (the lower the longer the shadow is). But if the shadow is exactly the same height as you, it would be the same inches in height as you are. To calculate that, just multiply 5 ft x 12, which = 60 inches, then add the other 3 inches to it. That would give you a total of 63 inches.

no
What is the height of a tower if its shadow is 500 feet long and a flag pole is 40 feet tall with a shadow 36 feet long?
The ratio of the height of the object to its shadow are the same for both objects. So, if H is the height of the tower, then H/500 = 40/36 therefore H = 500*40/36 = 555.55... feet.
A young man 150 cm tall cast a shadow that was 200 cm long his father's shadow cast at the same time of day was 240 cm long how tall was his father?
The ratio of the young man's height to his shadow is 150:200 or 3:4 The ratio for the father is the same. His shadow is 240 cm so his actual height is 240*3/4 = 180 cm
