140*10/6 = 233.33... ft or 233 ft 4 inches.
Except at that distance, the end of the shadow would be too diffuse to measure accurately.

Why are shadows cast on the ground?
A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.
