In Britain is daytime in February longer or shorter or the same length as June?
Shorter.
Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.
Is 11 ft 4 in longer or shorter than 135 in?
They are the same.
Is a meter longer or shorter than a kilometer?
A thousand times shorter. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
When are shadows longer and shorter?
Shadows are longer in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky. Shadows are shorter around noon when the sun is at its highest point.
Are the shadows shorter or longer in the winter?
winter
Compared to the summer shadows in the winter in the northern hemisphere are generally longer or shorter?
The shadows in the Northern Hemisphere are generally longer in the winter than in the summer. Therefore in the summer the shadows are shorter because the sun is more vertical.
Is a shadow longer in the afternoon?
Yes, shadows are typically longer in the afternoon because the sun is lower in the sky, casting longer shadows. In the morning and evening, when the sun is higher in the sky, shadows are shorter.
Why are shadows long at night?
Because the lights that cause them are relatively low. Lower lights ==> longer shadows. Higher lights ==> shorter shadows.
When shadows are longer morning or after noon?
Shadows are longer in the morning because the sun is lower in the sky, which results in longer shadows. As the day progresses and the sun rises higher in the sky, shadows become shorter. Thus, shadows are typically longest in the early morning and late afternoon.
Do shadows get longer until it reaches its longest point and then it will start getting shorter?
Yes, shadows typically get longer as the light source lowers in the sky in the afternoon, reaching their longest point around sunset. After sunset, shadows start to decrease in length as the light source moves further below the horizon.
Why do shadows get longer and shorter?
Shadows get longer and shorter throughout the day due to the changing angle of the sun in the sky. In the morning and evening when the sun is low in the sky, shadows are longer because the sunlight has to pass through a greater distance of the atmosphere. At midday when the sun is directly overhead, shadows are shorter because the sunlight travels a shorter distance to reach the object.
Why are shadows shorter in the middle of the day?
Shadows are shorter in the middle of the day because the sun is higher in the sky, casting light more directly downward. This angle creates shorter shadows compared to the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky, causing light to be more spread out and shadows to be longer.
Are shadows longer or shorter than your actual height?
it depends on where the sun is in the sky If the sun is at its highest point ur hsadows will be shorter but as the sun get slower your shadow will get longer
Does the season affect shadow direction?
Yes, the season can affect the direction of shadows due to the position of the sun in the sky. In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, resulting in shorter shadows that are cast more directly below objects. In the winter, the sun is lower, leading to longer shadows that are cast at an angle.
Why are shadows shorter in the summer?
Shadows are shorter in summer because the sun is higher in the sky, resulting in a shorter angle between the light source (sun) and the object casting the shadow. This angle affects the length of the shadow cast. Additionally, the longer daylight hours in summer mean the sun is overhead for a greater portion of the day, further contributing to shorter shadows.
