Detailed explanation-1: -When the Sun is directly above you, its light comes straight down at you, so your shadow is short. And by dusk, at the end of the day, the Sun is at a low angle again.
Detailed explanation-2: -In space or on the Moon there is no atmosphere to scatter light. The light from the sun travels a straight line without scattering and all the colors stay together. Looking toward the sun we thus see a brilliant white light while looking away we would see only the darkness of empty space.
Detailed explanation-3: -The shadows at noon are shorter than the shadows in the morning or in the evening because, at noon the sun is directly above the objects and the sun rays fall vertically on the body, thus, the shadow is very short or negligible.
Detailed explanation-4: -During morning and evening, the incident angle of the light is very small. Due to this, longer shadows are formed in the morning and evening. While at noon incident angle increases, due to which size of shadows decreases.
