Question

Humberto measured the length of a stick's shadow from sunrise to sunset during the day. What did he notice from his observations? A. Shadow length increased from sunrise to sunset. B. Shadow length increased from sunrise to noon. C. Shadow length decreased from sunrise to noon. D. Shadow length decreased from noon to sunset.

Answer 1

Answer: C. Shadow length decreased from sunrise to noon.

Step-by-step explanation: Think about how the sun is positioned in the sky. If it was noon, the sun is above the stick which means little to no shadow at all. If the sun was rising, its hitting one side of the stick, making the shadow longer.
