Shadow
[object Object]
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
In the direction opposite to that of the sun. It will be approximately West of the object but the exact direction will depend on the latitude and season.
The shadow is in front of you when the sun is behind you, typically in the late morning or early afternoon. The length and direction of the shadow will vary depending on the position of the sun in the sky.

The sun rises in the east, so shadow will fall to the west
It will shorten as the sun rises to its apogee over the object casting the shadow.
When the sun rises in the morning, shadows will point towards the west. This is because the sun rises in the east and casts shadows in the opposite direction.
So long as the sun is the same height above the horizon your shadows will be the same length whether it is morning or evening.
The direction a shadow points turns 15 degrees in one hour. The distance the end of the shadow moves depends on the length of the shadow.
If the direction from which the light comes changes, then the direction of the shadow changes as well. The shadow basically points away from the light source.
Usually somewhere towards the west. However, the exact length and direction of the shadow depend on your exact geographical position (both latitude and longitude), and on the time of year.
It depends on the time of day, and, therefore, it depends on where the sun is in the sky.
The shape does not change, only the length, depending on where the light comes from. Such as on a sundial, and the shadow gets longer or shorter over hours.
The difference between a morning shadow and a afternoon shadow is the face different ways and the opposite ways to the suns position.A morning shadow is very light but afternoon shadow is deep.
