    1. Shadows are longest in the morning and evening when the sun is lower in the sky, becoming shortest at midday when the sun is directly overhead. 2. As the sun moves across the sky from east to west throughout the day, shadows change position and length accordingly. In the morning shadows point east, becoming shortest at midday when pointing south, then lengthening again as the sun moves west and shadows point that direction in the evening. 3. Diagrams are included to show the expected position and length of a shadow at 7am, midday, and 7pm, with the shadow getting progressively shorter and changing direction over the course of the day.
