Canada has a western border, the sun would set there latest. The equator goes around the earth--the sun would always be shining on it somewhere--except during a total lunar eclipse.
Columbus set sail from Europe ... which is north of the equator ... and I'm pretty sure he never crossed it.
Nominally 2 hours earlier per month.
The thermal equator (also known as "the heat equator") is a belt encircling the Earth, defined by the set of locations having the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe.
The set of imaginary lines that are all parallel to the equator are the parallels of latitude. Whether they're horizontal or not depends on how you hold your map.
Near the equator.
in the winter : the sun is lower in the sky in winter so it takes less time to set :D
If you are north of the equator, it's within a few days of December 21. If you are south of the equator, it's within a few days of June 21. Either way, it's on the summer solstice.
Depend on the setting of the Sun.During winter, when the day is shorter,the Sun will set earlier then it should have.During the summer,when the day is longer,the sun will set at a later time.Some countries that are nearer to or on the equator will experience a 12-hour daytime and night time.Thus, the Sun will set after a 12-hour shines.
The celestion equator is not a fixed object; it is more like a direction in space. Or in this case, a set of directions.

December!!!
The beginning chapter of "Moby Dick" is set in December.
the sun set earlier on a island because the ocean is the first set of a tramendouse view
No, it is set in Louisiana.

Same reason that it rises earlier : the Earth is spherical and it turning west to east.
