Question

In what manner does size of our shadow change when we walk in sunlight?

Solution

The size of our shadow changes with the time of the day as we walk. In the noon, shadow will be smallest as the Sun is exactly over the head and a little light is blocked by our body to form shadow. During sunrise (sunset), the shadow formed is larger in size, as the Sun rises from the horizon (sets in the horizon) and more sunlight is blocked by our body to form longer shadow.
