Maya places a wooden flagpole vertically in the schoolyard ground in Annapolis, Maryland. At 8:00 AM on a sunny autumn morning, she measures the flagpole's shadow. She measures it again at 12:00 PM (solar noon). How will the shadow at 12:00 PM compare to the shadow measured at 8:00 AM?

The 12:00 PM shadow will be shorter and point toward the north. The 12:00 PM shadow will be longer and point toward the west. The 12:00 PM shadow will be equal in length and point toward the east. The 12:00 PM shadow will disappear entirely because the Sun is directly overhead in Maryland.

Correct Answer:

The 12:00 PM shadow will be shorter and point toward the north.
