Question

Shadow is shortest during the sunset.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The length of the shadow depends on the position of the source of light.

In the noon, the sun is directly overhead of the person. Hence, the shadow is shortest. During the sunrise and sunset, the rays of the sun are slant on the person and create a long shadow on the ground.

Shadows also form on the opposite side of the source of light (the sun).
