Answer: Answer is in the Explanation.

Explanation: At noon the sun is directly above in the sky, the sun's rays are falling on the body making the shadow smaller. While in the evenings and mornings the sun is at a inclined position, so the sun's rays are falling at a inclined position making the body's shadow larger.

I looked it up on the internet and reworded it as good as I could.
