I can see you're referencing the concept of sun protection and shadow measurement, often used to determine the need for sunscreen or protective clothing.
The general guideline you mentioned is indeed a good starting point: your own shadow should be shorter than your height, with clearly defined edges. This can give an indication of your exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
However, as you noted, there are many factors that can affect this measurement in reality. For example:
* Melanin levels: People with more melanin in their skin tend to require less protection against UV radiation.
* Clothing and accessories: Dark-colored clothing, hats, and sunglasses can all impact how much sun exposure you're getting.
* Time of day: The sun's rays are strongest between 10am and 4pm.
* Latitude and altitude: You may need more protection in areas closer to the equator or at higher elevations.
