Shadow can be use to have height estimation.

For example, height can be estimate with online website (like https://www.suncalc.org) on satellite imagery, by knowing the date of a capture (very useful with Esri combined with Esri World Imagery Wayback, where the capture date can be found by clicking on an image).
