If you perform shortest shadow method today on equator where will it point?
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.
What is the tree that has no shadow?
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.
Why does a tree in the path of sunlight create a shadow instead of the light spreading around the tree?
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.
How tall isa tree if woman is 5ft and her shadow is 4ft and near by tree shadow is 10ft?
Let the height of the tree be x: x/10 = 5/4 x = 50/4 The tree is 12.5 feet
A woman stands next to a tree ans she is 5 feet tall her shadow is 3feet the trees shadow is 7.5 feet long how tall is the tree?
4.5 ft
If you were standing under a tree when would the shadow of the tree be shortest sunrise midday sunset?
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.
At what time of the day would shadow be at its shortest?
noon
What time of the day would the shadow be at its shortest?
noon
When is the shortest shadow cast?
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.
What is midday on a sundial?
The shortest shadow on a sundial would be afternoon or Middaay
When a tree cast a 20 foot shadow a man 6 feet tall casts a 3 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.

The shortest shadow occurs at noon.
What happens to your shadow if you stand in the lights of a tree's shadow?
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.
What would be the length of the shadow of a 24 ft tree when a 40 ft tree casts a 16 ft shadow?
You have two similar triangles with one side the tree, and another the shadow Using the side with the tree, the ratio of the length of the triangles can be found: the triangles are in the ratio of 24 : 40 Thus divide the shadow of the 40ft tree by 40 to find out the length of shadow per foot of tree, and multiply this by 24 to find the length of the shadow of the 24 ft tree. This can be done by using the ratio as a fraction 24/40: → the shadow of the 24 ft tree is 16 ft × 24/40 = 9.6 ft
How is the shadow of the tree formed?
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.
