∙ 14y agoIn addition to the height of the object, the length of its shadow depends on a few other things that are not described in the question. -- Is the object standing straight upright ? -- Is the shadow cast on the ground or on sometheing else? -- If on the ground, is the ground level ? -- What is the altitude (angle) of the sun ?
If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in theshadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely differentquestion, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)
It is zero: 0cm; 0mm A shadow has no height: length yes, but height no
That all depends upon what time of day the shadow was cast. For example, at straight up noon, even a very tall building wouldn't cast much of a shadow, but at sunrise or sunset, even a tiny building might cast an 18 foot long shadow, or even longer.

That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
25 ft

The tree was 20 feet tall.
If the Earth were flat, it would cast a straight and uniform shadow, similar to a rectangular shape, as it would obstruct the light from the Sun in a consistent manner. The size and orientation of the shadow would vary depending on the position of the Sun in the sky.
On most days it would. Only at the equinoces it would not.
Vampires do not cast a shadow. They do not have a reflection either.
Light does not cast a shadow because it is the source of illumination.
No, a lightsaber does not cast a shadow because the blade emits light and does not block or reflect light like a solid object would.
