"Findings of M8"

Some things make bigger shadows than others. The size of any shadow depends on two things_ the time of thebday and the size of the object. Things that are big have big shadows. Small things have small shadows. Suppose you wanted to sit in the shade. Would you sit near a flag pole or a large tree? I'm sure you would sit under a large tree.

Shadows are longer when the sun is lower in the sky and the shadow of the same obgect is shorter in the noon.

When the students who are in the same height are measured at the same time,we find that the length of the shadows are different. This is due to each country's location defined by its latitude and longitude.
