The length of the shadow will be longest at sunrise and sunset, and shortest at noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the angle of the sun's rays hitting the object casting the shadow is more oblique at sunrise and sunset, creating a longer shadow.
What else can I help you with?
During the daytime when does the sun cast the longest shadow?

How can it be sunrise and sunset at the same moment?
For two antipodal locations (on opposite sides of the Earth) it will be sunrise for one when it is sunset for the other.Also, on the winter solstice, areas very near the North Pole or South Pole may experience a "day" of only a few minutes length, with sunrise quickly becoming sunset and the Sun never leaving the horizon. At the Poles themselves, the period from sunrise to sunset, and sunset to sunrise, is 6 full months.
Is a shadow usually longer at mid day than at sunset?
On the contrary, shadows (at least, those cast by sunlight) would be shortest at mid day and longest at sunset or sunrise, which is a phenomenon you can easily observe for yourself (which is why I have categorized this question under Science Experiments).
If you were standing under a tree when would the shadow of the tree be shortest sunrise midday sunset?
The shadow of the tree would be shortest at midday when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to the tree, resulting in a shorter shadow. At sunrise and sunset, the angle of the sunlight is lower, creating longer shadows.
What are the methods use by the early astronomers in getting the shape and size of the earth?
Estimates of the length of the solar day ( sunrise to sunset) by various shadow markers such as at Stonehenge. Sun-dialing preceded real astronomy.
How does the length of a shadow get longer?
The length of a shadow gets longer as the angle of the Sun decreases towards the horizon. This is because the light from the Sun has to travel through a larger portion of the Earth's atmosphere, causing the shadow to stretch out. The longest shadows are typically seen during sunrise and sunset when the Sun is low in the sky.
What is 'sunrise sunset' when translated from English to Italian?
