Why Is One Shadow Longer Than the Other? | Grade 3 | Light

Two pictures. Two shadows. One is short, one is long—why? Join Miss Ray and Kaira to uncover how the Sun’s angle makes your shadow shrink at midday and stretch in the afternoon! What you’ll learn: What creates a shadow (light gets blocked!) Why shadows are shortest when the Sun is high and longest when it’s low How Earth’s rotation makes the Sun appear to move across the sky How to predict and measure shadow patterns through the day Try this easy experiment: Place a stick upright on paper outside. Trace the shadow and write the time every few hours. Compare lengths: shortest near midday, longer morning/late afternoon. Safety tip: never look directly at the Sun! Fun fact: Galileo used a telescope to study the sky and helped us learn that planets orbit the Sun—science changes how we see our world!
