- At the time of sunrise, if a man stands facing the east, his shadow will be towards the west.
- At the time of sunset, the shadow of an object is always in the east.
- If a man stands facing the North, at the time of sunrise his shadow will be towards his left and at the time of sunset, it will be towards his right.
