If it will be midday in 3 hours, it's 9 am now.
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.
ZaccheusAnswer:According to the Bible: "Bildad" would have to be the shortest. He was a "Shuhite" [Job 2:11].
Divisibles, the 6 foot man would cast a shadow 2 feet long.
Why would you want to know that.
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.
i think sunset, midday, sunrise or midnight i dont know but these are the answers i can give and atleast i told u somethink lol At midday, when the sun is directly overhead.
The shortest shadow on a sundial would be afternoon or Middaay
Shadows are the longest when it is dawn or night. In the afternoon, the sun is over us, which makes our shadow short!
noon
noon
On the contrary, shadows (at least, those cast by sunlight) would be shortest at mid day and longest at sunset or sunrise, which is a phenomenon you can easily observe for yourself (which is why I have categorized this question under Science Experiments).
NOON When the sun is at it's highest point in the sky
You would expect to find the shortest shadows around noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the angle of the sun's rays are more directly overhead, resulting in shorter shadows.
Just after sunrise, or just before sunset.
At mid-day or when the sun is as close to overhead of you as possible. At this time, your shadow will be directly below you and not long, as it is at sunrise or sunset. If you want which day in a year the Shadow likely to be smallest than it is June 22
Your shadow would be the shortest near the north pole during the summer solstice, around June 21st. This is because the sun is directly overhead, casting shadows that appear very short. At the north pole during this time, the sun never sets, leading to continuous daylight and minimal shadow length.
