Vl/haT follows you around all day, buT almosT
disappears aT lunch Time? Well, iT cerTainly
isn'T your dog or caT or your besT friend—They
would only like To have a biTe of your noon
repasTl No, The consTanT companion ThaT goes
away only aT noon is your shadow. For mosT of
The morning, you casT a shadow by obsTrucTing
The sun, which is low in The sky. The higher
The sun rises, The smaller your shadow geTs.
ThaT is because your body blocks less lighT as
The sun reaches iTs greaTesT heighT over your
parT of The earTh. AT noon, when The sun is
direchy overhead, you block almosT no lighT.
As a resulT, your shadow almosT disappears.
