the sun doesn't have an altitude, it is not in the earths atmosphere. it does have an angle. the ';higher'; it appears in the sky the shorter the shadow; the closer the sun to the horizon the longer the shadow.How does the sun's altitude affect the shadow created on an object?
The lower in the sky the sun is the longer the shadow being cast. Conversely the higher the sun in the sky the shorter the shadow cast. This is a very interesting fact since you can tell the height of something by the length of it's shadow. Just measure the length of the shadow of something you know the height of say a 1 foot ruler. If the shadow is 18 inches for the 1 foot ruler and a shadow of a building is 60 feet long then you know that the building is 90 feet tall since 18 is 1.5 times 12 and 90 is 1.5 times 60.How does the sun's altitude affect the shadow created on an object?
Seriously, are you not able to think this through on your own? What does your shadow look like at noon compared to late in the day? I love to help people, but a little effort on your part goes a long way, you would be surprised. You were given a wonderful brain that can do great things for you if you would just bother to try.
If by altitude you mean position of the sun, anyway the sun creates the all majory light and ( you can do an exparement in a dork room with a flashlight ) without the light there is no colour and when the object is hiding the area of shadow it becomes dark and if the sun is in like mid day an item can block the sun less.
