Answer:

It's because of the location of this sun or we can say the earth rotates thus one point on the earth could be nearer farther from the sun as compared to other point.

In simple terms,

When the Sun is high in the sky, the shadows are much shorter.  This happens during noon when the sun is overhead, making the shadow shorter than evening time.

In another way we can say,

The most extreme angle possible before the horizon blocks the sun. The further away from the equator, the longer the shadow, because the sun will never reach directly overhead.
