Question

why is shadow short at noon

Answer 1

shadow is shortest at noon. at noon, the sun is directly overhead. so the rays fall vertically on the body. in mornings and evenings, the rays fall at inclined position. so shadows are long at mornings or evenings.

Answer 2

hai friend

here is your answer

everyday, the shortest shadow is at noon

at that time, the sun will be directly on the top and the rays fall on every object in a straight way.

we know that the shadows are formed when the rays are in a slant way

in the morning, the sun is in the east and in the evening, the sun will be at West

so, the rays fall slantly in these time

hope it helps you
