There is no constant relationship between units of length and units of angle.
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.
There is no constant relationship between units of length and units of angle.
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
the angle at which a shadow is formed
The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
The relationship between the size of a shadow of an object and the distance of light source from the object is indirectly proportional. A short distance will make the shadow big while making the distance long will reduce the size of the shadow.
There is no constant relationship between units of length and units of angle.
As the relationship between the length and angle given are unclear a graphic explanation can be found at the link below
It depends on the angle of the sun. If the sun is at 90 degrees, immediately overhead, then the length of the shadow is 0. What is the angle of the sun?
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.
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
Light leaves the lamp and travels in straight lines from its point source. As you move away from the source, the angle between you and the light changes and this the length and position of your shadow changes.
There is no constant relationship between units of length and units of angle.
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
A 45 degree sun angle indicates that the sun is halfway between the horizon and directly overhead (known as the zenith). Such an angle causes the length of an object's shadow to be equal to the object's height.
The length of your shadow depends on the angle on the Sun.If it is noon your shadow will be shorter than if It was at 3pm or 9am for at those times your shadow Will be longer.
