Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

At different times of the day the shadow of a person has different heights. This happens because the position of the sun changes throughout the day and hence, the angle of incident of rays of the Sun. At different times of the day, your shadow will be different because of the position of the sun. Your shadow is small at noon because the sun is above you. In the morning and evening, your shadow will be tall.
