I think that's saying that if you go out at sunrise/sunset, the sun is on the horizon, and so your shadow will be a lot longer. In that scenario, you aren't getting enough UV to produce the vitamin D you need.

Still I don't understand does shadows have something to do with vitamin D ?

No. It means how high is the sun.

A shallow angle from the sun give you that long shadow, but it also gives the light lots of extra air to pass through sideways on it's way down out of space. The extra air filters out more light, and without an intense enough light your skin won't make Vitamin D.

If you have a long shadow, the sunlight that gets to you has gone through much more atmosphere which attenuates the ultraviolet light. So at high/low lattitudes and during morning/evening hours the amount of uv that gets to the surface is much lower.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
