Theory of Morning, Day and Night Shadow


b = Morning sun c = Morning shadow
b1 = Noon sun c1 = Noon shadow
b2 = Afternoon sun c2 = Afternoon shadow



In the moment of the noon, the shortest shadow is produced and that shadow invariably points to the geographical North in that hemisphere (see fig. 2) - with the exception of a post that intersectes the ecliptic, where at noon there will be no shadow at all.
