Question

how could our elders tell time by just looking at shadows​

Answer 1

Answer:

hiii. Stand outside in a clear spot so your shadow projects on the ground rather than a wall. Have a helper measure the length of your shadow. Your shadow will be longer in the beginning and end of the day, and shorter toward the middle. Look up your shadow's length on the Personal Sundial chart to determine the time.

Hope u will undersatnd dude....

Answer 2

Answer:

In the morning, the Sun appears low in the sky; objects cast long shadows. As Earth rotates, the Sun appears higher in the sky, and the shadows get shorter. At noon, with the Sun overhead, objects cast short shadows or no shadow at all.
