The length of the day
The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.
Earth's rotation controls the length of a day, causing the sun to rise and set. It also influences the planet's weather patterns, ocean currents, and the Coriolis effect, which affects winds and ocean circulation. Furthermore, the rotation helps provide the conditions necessary for life to exist on Earth.
The amount of sunlight reaching a location at a particular time is determined by Earth's shape, axial tilt, rotation, and orbit around the sun. These factors affect the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, leading to variations in day length and intensity of sunlight throughout the year.
As the earth rotates the angle if the sunlight changes which affects shadows.
The movement of the sun across the sky during the day causes shadows to change. As the position of the sun changes, the angle and length of shadows cast by objects also change. This daily movement of the sun is responsible for the continuous shifting of shadows throughout the day.

The length of the day
Less quickly becaus it takes longer to rotate on its axis therefore one mercury day equals 59 earth days
Shadows change throughout the day due to the movement of the Sun across the sky. As the Sun rises, moves through its highest point at noon, and sets, the angle of sunlight hitting objects changes, thus affecting the length and direction of their shadows. The Earth's rotation causes this dynamic positioning of the Sun.
The tides are slowing the earths rotation and making the day longer.

The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.
Shadows change length based on the position of the light source. When the light source is higher in the sky, shadows are shorter, while when the light source is lower, shadows are longer. Additionally, the angle and distance between the object casting the shadow and the surface it falls upon can also impact shadow length.
Rotation causes shadows to change in length and direction due to the shifting position of the light source, typically the sun. As an object rotates, the angle of sunlight hitting it changes throughout the day, leading to varying shadow lengths; for instance, shadows are longest during sunrise and sunset, and shortest at noon. Additionally, the orientation of the object relative to the light source alters the direction of the shadow, creating dynamic patterns over time.
