If the sun is higher than 52 degrees, the Egyptian pyramids won't cast a shadow. During the winter months, the pyramids cast a shadow for considerable parts of the day. Even in the summer months, when the pyramids don't cast a shadow during large parts of the day, they still cast a shadow in the early morning and evening. | If the sun is higher than 52 degrees, the Egyptian pyramids won't cast a shadow.
