Question : Standing in an open ground on a cloudless day, at what time will your shadow be the shortest?
Option 1: 09:00
Option 2: 07:00
Option 3: 15:00
Option 4: 12:00
Correct Answer: 12:00
Solution : The correct answer is 12:00.
Starting at sunrise and ending at dusk, the sun makes an arc in the sky, peaking at noon local time. The length of a shadow cast by an item varies with the sun's position in the sky. The sun's highest point, local noon, is when the shadow is the shortest.
