Shadow Length

This window will calculate the length of a shadow based on the Altitude of the Sun and the Object’s Height.  You must have both of these measurements to determine the shadow length.

Enter the measurements into the labeled entry boxes.

The Sun’s Altitude must be in degrees.
The Object’s Height may be in any unit of measure (feet, miles, meters, kms,etc).  The resulting shadow length will be in the same unit of measure as the Object’s Height.
