Where there is light, there is shadow. You must have heard this saying. Because without light there can be no shadow. During the day on Earth, when sunlight spreads all around, we see shadows. Be it an object or any person. In the morning the shadow is long, but as the day progresses, the shadow becomes shorter. There comes a time when it becomes very small. On June 21, there came a time when even the shadow left us. This is what happened on earth. But have you ever seen a shadow in space? The camera of the American space agency NASA has recorded this amazing sight. This is the longest shadow of the Sun.
As the International Space Station was orbiting off the coast of the Philippines, northeast of Manila, sunrise cast long shadows over the cloudy Philippine Sea, NASA reports. At that very moment, the longest shadow was formed, which was recorded on the camera. At this time the sun was rising and according to the earth it was morning time. If measured, it would be hundreds of kilometers long. Nothing on earth casts a shadow that long. The video went viral as soon as it was shared. Till now it has been viewed more than 57 thousand times. People are surprised to see this.

when is the longest shadow
According to the US space agency, the shadow on Amator is generally longest in the early morning and late evening, when the sun appears low in the sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun hits each location at an angle. At noon the sun appears to pass directly overhead. That is why the shadow is small. At that time, the sun’s rays fall perpendicularly on us, due to which the shadow becomes smaller. But a similar scene occurs in the sky also.
