Question

PLEASE HELP RIGHT NOW!! I NEED A SCIENCE GENIUS!!!!


You have sticks planted in the ground that you are using as basic sundials. One is 2 m long; the other is 5 m long. Does the length of the stick affect how much the shadow mark moves, or do both shadows move evenly? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The one that is 5m long is going to be longer and or shorter depending on where the sun. Both the 2m and 5m are going to be depended on which way the sun is facing. for example if you where standing outside and the sun was right behind you your shadow is going to be longer than a person who is shorter than you but if the sun is facing right above you will be the same height because of the way the sun is facing.

Answer 2

The length of the stick will not affect the shadow mark, which will affect the position of the sun. Also, shadows will not move evenly.

How does the position of the sun affect the shadow mark?

• When the sun is positioned in front of the sticks, the shadows will be similar in size to the real thing.
• When the sun is perpendicular to the sticks, the shadows will appear elongated.

The sun may have different positions on each stick. For this reason, we cannot rely on the size of the sticks to determine their shadows, but on their positioning to the sun.

This placement also prevents shadows from appearing evenly.
