Where does the Sun come up if you are at the North Pole?

Answer 1

It comes up all around the horizon. In the days just before the first day of Spring, the sun would make a complete circle just below the horizon once a day. As the first day of Spring approached, that circle gets closer and closer to the horizon, so that eventually just a bit of the sun is poking above the horizon as it moves around. Finally, the entire sun is above the horizon (and still making its complete circle around the horizon once a day). Actually, due to refraction, the timing of this is slightly early with respect to the first day of Spring.

Answer 2

There is a four year cycle through which the direction of the sunrise changes. It takes 3*365+ 366 rotations of the planet for the sun to rise in roughly the same direction again. The placement of the zero meridian in Greenwich was an arbitrary decision and has nothing to do with one of the four directions (meridians) where the sun rises and sets, viewed from the poles.

The poles don't belong meaningfully to any time zone of earth, and technically you always have two different dates standing on the pole, since you also stand on the date line.

Answer 3

for your information "thats it im done" the question is more intelligent than that, as there is no east at the north pole!!!

it rises at different points throughout the year, in summer it does a c shape around the sky and in winter it only skims the horizon.

Answer 4

It rises in the south, is in the south for months then sets in the south.
The moon does the same thing and when they are both above the horizon they are both in the south but can be at opposite souths.

Answer 5

East, the sun rises in the east!
It depends on the time of the year it is!!!
Summer it never sets.
Winter it never rises.
After winter, the next time it rises it rises in the east!!!

Answer 6

It never sets in summer, just rotates near the horizon. In winter it never rises. Otherwise it rises from teh east.

Answer 7

The Sun has Rise in the East and Sets in the West!!!






Wahoo!!!

Answer 8

if youre at the north pole isn't everything south?

Answer 9

It will come up in the southeast and set in the southwest. If it is "winter" you won't see it. In the "summer" it will trace a low arc across the sky.

Answer 10

The EAST
