The amount of sunshine, where the sun is, and if there is any sun at all.

The angle of the light hitting the tree if the sun is high in the sky the Shadow is short for example if the sun is directly over a post then the post will cast no shadow. as the sun moves into a position that causes its light to shine on the side of the post a shadow will appear on the opposite side of the post where it blocks the sun. as the sun seems to assume a relatively lower position compared to the horizon it will make the shadow longer and longer.
