When the sun in at the top where is the shadow?

When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, typically around noon, the shadow of an object is generally at its shortest and falls directly beneath it. This means that the shadow will point straight down, or very close to it, depending on the specific angle of the sun. In locations near the equator, the shadow can be almost nonexistent, while in higher latitudes, it may still extend slightly toward the north.
