If you swoon at the sight of blood or cry at the drop of a pin, this type of work is not for you. Finding aid workers with a combination of thick skin and compassion is always a challenge and some agencies report a 90% staff turnover in the first 30 days of a disaster. Your profession is probably neededâsomewhere.
The shadow is longest when the light source is lowest. So, in the day when the sun is low in the sky (sunrise and sunset) the shadow is longest. When the sun is highest (mid â¦ day) and directly above then the shadow is shortest.
The shortest eclipse occurred in 1912 on April 17. It only lasted for 2 seconds because the shadow just barely touched the surface of the Earth. The longest eclipse on record occurred in the year 671 on December 7th. It lasted for 10 minutes and 18 seconds. These are the times that an observer standing on some point would be able to see the eclipse. The total time that the Sun's shadow can travel across the surface of the Earth is measured in hours.
