It depends what is meant by "day", if you mean the amount of time that the sun is shining, then it is always day. The other definition, the scientific one, is the amount of time it takes a planet to turn all the way around once in relation to its star, on earth this is 24 hours, as the sun is a star, in this sense it does not have "days."

How long is the sun's day?

The length of a planet's day is time of one rotation relative to the Sun. So of course that definition has no meaning for the Sun itself. But the Sun does rotate, and that rotation can be timed, although as a gaseous body its rotational rate is irregular. Additionally, the Sun's "day," or period of one rotation, is different depending on which viewpoint is used, the Sun's or ours. # The sidereal rotation period, the time for one complete revolution of the points on the Sun's equator from the Sun's point of view, is about 25.38 Earth days. # The synodic rotation period, the time for a point on the Sun to make one rotation as viewed from the moving Earth, is about 27.2753 Earth days.

Why does a shadow Change depending on the time of day?

The shadow is cast by the sun.As the earth rotates on it's axis, the sun appears to move across the sky in an arc.The height and direction of the sun is constantly changing throughout the day and so the shadow will also change. When the sun is high the shadow is short. When the sun is low, the shadow will be long.

How long are the days on the sun?

Day periods on planets are defined as the time required for one full rotation in relation to the "fixed" star they are orbiting. Since the sun is a star itself, it doesn't have a day. But I guess since it would always be sunny, you may be able to say that it's day lasts as long as the sun is still shining.
