Hello, fissou11. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />The length of your shadow depends on the time of year, your latitude, and the time of day. (It also depends on how level the ground is, but we'll ignore that for the time being.) Basically, all it requires is that the Sun appear to be at an elevation of 45 degrees in the sky. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
