    And what would be the length of the shadow compared to the height of a building?

    I think Straf figured out the angle of the shadow was 67 degrees or something like that. It was a while ago though so I don't know who it was. So the length of shadow for a 10 ft tall pole would be 4.24 feet.

    I've just spent half an hour scanning and searching the thread for key words like angle, sun, length etc, and I can't find it. Mind you - that doesn't mean it isn't there. Straf probably managed to express it without using any of those words

    Or... it could be in the other thread?

    It seems to make sense. I used Darwin Australia because it's the exact same latitude. So it's early October.

    I think the shadow is just under half the height of the object.

    So a mesa that is 150 foot high needs a shadow that is 75 feet long, which is equivalent to 15 grid squares.... which means I need to revise the position of at least one mesa in District 15 to avoid casting a shadow on the land to the south east which isn't mine to map...
