The shadow cast in sunshine is shortest when the sun is at its highest, that is, at local noon. In general, that is not civil clock time noon. Several websites can tell you your local noon. Try the United States Naval Observatory, for example: www.usno.navy.mil

What does translucent shadow?

A translucent shadow is a shadow that allows some light to pass through, resulting in a blurred or less defined shadow. This can happen when the blocking object is partially transparent or when the light source is not very intense.


Can a shadow be smaller than the object?

Yes, a shadow can be smaller than the object casting it. This can happen when the light source is very close to the object or when the object is very close to the surface on which the shadow is cast. The size of the shadow is determined by the angle of the light rays hitting the object and the distance between the object and the surface.


Can a reflection be a shadow?

It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.


Why does your body create a shadow?

Your body creates a shadow when light is blocked by your physical presence. Light cannot pass through your body, so it creates an area of darkness on the surface behind you, which we perceive as a shadow.
