What’s In A Shadow? (1979)
Film discusses how to use shadows and the sun’s position to find directions. It explains that your shadow is always with you and can help you determine north, south, east, and west, especially when you don’t have a compass. By observing the sun’s movement throughout the day, you can create a “shadow gram” to track its position. The sun rises in the east, reaches its highest point at noon (casting the shortest shadow), and sets in the west. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the sun’s position and the Earth’s rotation to navigate effectively.
Keywords: shadow, directions, compass, sun, north, south, east, west, shadow gram, noon, Earth’s rotation, navigation, sunrise, sunset.
