At noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, shadows are typically at their shortest. In most locations, shadows can be nearly nonexistent or very short, often just a few inches long. The exact length can vary depending on the time of year and the observer's latitude, but generally, shadows are significantly shorter at noon compared to other times of the day.

How tall would a house be that casts a 18 feet long shadow?
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.
At which time of the day is the shadow formed the shortest?
Noon in winter, 1pm in summer when clocks are an hour ahead of Nature.
How do the direction and length of your shadow in the morning compare to it's direction and length at noon?
In the morning, your shadow is longer and points towards the west as the sun rises in the east. By noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, your shadow becomes much shorter and points directly beneath you or slightly towards the north, depending on your location. This change in length and direction occurs due to the sun's position in the sky throughout the day.
What is the relationship between shadow length and the sun's angle in the sky?
The length of a shadow is inversely related to the sun's angle in the sky. When the sun is low on the horizon, such as during sunrise or sunset, shadows are long due to the shallow angle of sunlight. Conversely, when the sun is high in the sky, typically at noon, shadows are shorter because the sunlight strikes the ground more directly. Thus, as the sun's angle increases, shadow length decreases.
How did human beings know that the earth was a sphere before the use of satellites?
Some very wise man noticed that the shadow cast from a stick placed vertically in the ground was a different angle at exactly noon than the angle of shadow cast at exactly noon from a vertically placed stick in the ground at a location further north. By employing mathematics, he was able to deduce that the earth is in fact, roundish.
How much shadow is shown at noon?

What it is your shadow in monrning will get?
