sun rise and ...?

Question

Does the Sun always rise a the same point? Moreover, does it rise at one and the same time for the whole world?

Answer 1

No, it sets and rises at a different point each day of the year. You might want to ask this in the Astronomy section.

Answer 2

The sun does not move. It is the earth that moves and with that it only appears that the sun rises in a slightly different place each day. The time of sun rise depends on the earth's rotation. As it turns, light from the sun moves across the earth's surface.

Answer 3

No.

the world rotates so it will not. i leave in a country where the day begins and can see over the year the different places from the East it rises. In fact the International Date Line runs through the country.

During the millennium scores of people came here just to see the first dawn of the year 2000

Answer 4

No it rises at a different place each day over the course of a year until returning to the origanal point along its path ( the ecliptic). It rises at a different time for every point east to west, that is why we have time zones.

Answer 5

To the latter part, no it does not. That is what time zones accomodate for. Since the Earth is round, the light hits certain parts before others as it turns. So right now, the sun has probobly just risen for one part of the world while it has set for another.

Answer 6

It rises in the east and sets in the west far as I know.
The angle of the sun does change positons as the seasons change but the sun itself doesnt move.

Answer 7

People think so in the ancient times.
Now we are learning tons of information about real changes and imaginary changes at the movement of the earth.
In all aspects of our life today there are tons of new information every day.
Let us seek for the essence of the human life and things beneficially relating to it. Otherwise, we will get lost in the ocean of both true and false information.
