As the earth rotates, the sun will appear to move across the sky. what will happen to the marmot's shadow between late morning and sunset?

a. the shadow will shrink until it vanishes as the sun sets.
b. the shadow will first grow larger and longer, then it will shrink until it vanishes as the sun sets.
c. the shadow will grow much larger and longer throughout the entire day.
d. the shadow will first grow shorter and smaller, then it will become much longer and larger.

ANSWER:

The shadow will first grow larger and larger, then it will shrink until it vanishes as the sun sets, is the condition that happens when marmot’s shadow is observed during late morning and sunset.

EXPLANATION:

It is the general physics which describes the light and shadow. Marmot’s statue is the fixed position, sun rise forms a point where shadows is observed. It grows lager as the sun rotates around and as it goes towards sunset, the shadow starts to vanishes slowly as the position of sun is changed during the day.
