From September 21 until March 21, the shortest shadow points north from the equator. From March 21 until September 21, the shortest shadow points south from the equator.
Well, no trees have a shadow if it is dark, or if they are shaded by a bigger tree. But a family tree may have no shadow.
Light travels in straight lines and therefore some will hit the tree. Where this happens a shadow (absence of light) is created behind the tree.
Let the height of the tree be x: x/10 = 5/4 x = 50/4 The tree is 12.5 feet

The shadow of the tree would be shortest at midday when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to the tree, resulting in a shorter shadow. At sunrise and sunset, the angle of the sunlight is lower, creating longer shadows.
The shortest shadow is cast at noon when the sun is directly overhead, resulting in the smallest angle of incidence for sunlight and the shortest shadow length.

The shortest shadow occurs at noon.
A tree's shadow does not have light. Anytime you are in the shadow of another object your body has no shadow of its own.

The shadow of a tree is formed when sunlight is blocked by the tree, creating an area of darkness on the ground. The position of the sun and the angle of the tree's leaves and branches determine the size and shape of the shadow. When the sun is directly above, the shadow appears directly below the tree, and as the sun moves, so does the shadow.
The shadow of the stick will be the shortest during midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. At this time, the angle of the sun's rays hitting the stick is the smallest, resulting in a shorter shadow.
Your shadow is shortest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around noon on a clear day. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to your position, minimizing the length of your shadow.
