I determined that the sun was shining at a 45 degree angle, based on where I was, as the object casting the shadow, and the shadow, was the same length. Seeing as the sun was 2500-3000 miles south of me, I also knew that had to be the height of the sun when I made those measurements, based on trigonometry.

Did you actually understand my question?
