since world is a sphere we have sun at side to us then why the sun pases top to us?

Answer 1

Because you are not standing on the north or south pole. MOST people live on the SIDE of the planet.... and as you said, the sun is on the SIDE as well.

Answer 2

The earth orbits the sun while rotating counter-clockwise. As you can observe daily, the sun rises from the east and sets in the west but it doesn't mean that the sun is moving.
The sun's volume is also very big as compared to the earths volume. Another factor is that it is very far from earth.
Imagine you are standing on one point in the equator, earth is turning at a constant speed. At 12 midnight, you are exaclty on the other side of the earth so you could not see the sun at 6 am, you could see the sun "rising" from the east or shall I say emerging from the east. At 12 noon, the sun will be directly on top of you (angle of elevation maybe more or less 90 degress), at this point, the sun is not in any direction on the plane you are standing on (north, south, west, east) but it is above you.
As the earth continue to rotate on its axis, you will be travelling due east with reference to the sun, till around 6 pm when you are about loose your sight for the sun.
Assume the sun is not moving...

Answer 3

Supposing you push a nail on the ball, the nail should be perpendicular to the surface, may be at any point of a ball. Now consider the ball as earth & yrself as a pin. Now a sun is kept or passing side by side of the ball. So the pin may point , means the head of the pin may point the sun or may see it passing at an angle. So is the sun seen to us over head at equator, going nearer to the pole, sun passes to the minor arc or the rotation at one of the poles & the major arc of the rotation at the other pole.
So the major arc side pole, i.e. the one with the summers can see the maximum, even the full portion of the circle. This leads to the midnight sun in norway,etc & the minor arc pole i.e. the winter hemisphere pole, sees the sun passing verry near to the horizon, verry little time in a day.

Answer 4

The sun passes overhead because you're on one side of the earth too!

Let's model the situation. To represent the earth, use a globe - or a ball, if you don't have a globe handy. To represent the sun, shine a lamp on one side of the globe. If you live in a country that's straight under the lamp, you would see the sun as being directly above you.

Hopefully that helps!

Answer 5

Because the Earth go around of its own Axe in 24 hours. This movement make the night and the day. The other movement of the Earth, around the Sun in 365 days, make the seasons and the year.

Answer 6

If you are standing on the equator the sun passes directly overhead.
If you are standing within the tropics the sun will pass almost directly overhead half of the time.
If you are standing at one of the poles or anywhere in the Arctic or antarctic then the sun will never pass directly overhead.

Answer 7

The sunlight falls straight down to the ground (at the equator). But we are not lying down on the ground! We are standing up. So, it seems as if the sun is beating down on our heads.

Answer 8

Because you looking at sun on your standing position just lay down and see its you side as well as earth. Lay on ground as your head towards north feet towards south, now see what is your side. ...........or put an ant on globe as head towards north tail towards south feel the difference

Answer 9

sun is too large than earth. we see a little part of the sun.and earth has a gravitational force it forces towards her centre.

Answer 10

becuase the sun is big enough and far enoug away that it seems such
