The sun rises in the east, so shadow will fall to the west
west
It will shorten as the sun rises to its apogee over the object casting the shadow.
The sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
Each morning, the sun always rises in the east.
It is the side where the sun rises in the morning
In the morning, the position of a shadow is longer and angled towards the west because the sun rises in the east. The shadow will gradually shrink and shift as the sun moves higher in the sky throughout the day.
The Sun rises in the East everywhere on the earth. Sometimes a little north of east, sometimes a little south of east, but always east.
To see Earth's shadow on Earth, you would need to be at a high vantage point during a time when the sun is low on the horizon, such as at sunrise or sunset. As the sun sets or rises, Earth's shadow is cast onto the atmosphere opposite the direction of the sun, creating a dark band visible in the sky.
the light moves from the west/east and is blocked by the object and hence the shadow forms from the east/wesr
Morning: The shadow will be the longest and facing the west as the sun rises in the east Noon: The shadow will be the shortest as the sun is directly above the object Afternoon: The shadow will be slightly longer and facing east as the sun is going to set in the west soon.
A morning shadow is cast at your feet, but as the day progresses and the sun rises higher in the sky, the shadow shortens and almost disappears in the midday sun.
