The sun rises from the east and sets in the west.
Everything in the sky ... with the possible exception of man-made artificial satellites ... rises in the east and sets in the west. That goes for the sun and the moon. In general, the moon does not rise and set exactly due east and due west. Depending on the time of the year and the time of the month, the places where it rises and sets move slightly north or south of the due-east and due-west directions. The farthest the moon can move away from due-east rising and due-west setting is about 29 degrees north or south. (declination of the ecliptic plus inclination of the lunar orbit)
The Moon's orbit is not synchronized to the Earth's orbit around the Sun; there isn't really an association between moonrise and the solstice. However, as a general rule, all celestial bodies rise in the east and set in the west.
No. There's no place on earth where the sun doesn't rise, and no place where it doesn't set.
There are large areas that don't necessarily experience a sunrise and sunset every 24 hours.
At the north and south poles, for example, the sun rises and sets exactly once a year. But
wherever on earth an observer may be located, he definitely sees the sun rise and set
from that location.
Anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't set from some time before June 21 until
the same length of time after June 21. The farther north, the longer the total period of time is.
At the north pole, the sun doesn't set between March 21 and September 21.
Within a few hundred miles of the South Pole, the Sun will not rise, and it will be dark from now until mid-September. Within a few hundred miles of the North Pole, the Sun will not rise - because it didn't SET, and they (the polar bears) will have "midnight sun" until mid-September.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The earth is also slightly on a tilt. So no, the sun does not directly rise at the equator.
My version:The sun rises and sets at every point on the planet, including the equator.The north and south poles less often than the rest of the world, but that's just weird.
Nowhere. The Earth rotates from West to East, therefore, the apparent movement of stars and planets is from east to west. An object would have to move around the Earth in less than 24 hours to have an apparent movement from west to east - this happens with artificial satellites, and sometimes (as in the case of planet Mars) with natural satellites (moons).
There is no place on earth where the sun doesn't rise, and no place where it doesn't set.
But there are places where these occasions don't necessarily occur every 24 hours. North of the
Arctic Circle, and south of the Antarctic Circle, there's one period of at least 24 hours in the year
when the sun doesn't rise, and one period of at least 24 hours in the year when it doesn't set.
The closer you are to the poles, the longer these periods are. At the north and south poles, the
sun is above the horizon for 6 months, and below it for the other six months.
There is no place on earth where the sun never rises. The closest thing to it is the situation
at the earth's poles.
At the north and south poles, the sun is down for 6 solid months at a time; but after that,
it's up for the next 6 solid months.
The side of the Earth facing the Sun would get very hot and the side of the Earth in dark would get very cold.
it is because the sun is facing on the side of the earth and as it rotates, the side that gets the sun switches
venus on the sun's side and mars on the other side that is far from the sun.
The other side is experiencing night time.
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
The Sun appears to set because the Earth rotates, turning one side of the Earth away from the Sun for a period we call "night"
The side of the Earth facing the Sun would get very hot and the side of the Earth in dark would get very cold.
The side that is facing the sun is in the daylight. It keeps changing. At any given moment, it would be the half directed toward the sun.
The earth rotates as it revolves around the sun. When the side of the earth where Australia is faces the sun the side of the earth where Africa is faces away from the sun. As the earth rotates the side with Africa will turn toward the sun and the side with Australia will rotate away from the sun.
it is because the sun is facing on the side of the earth and as it rotates, the side that gets the sun switches
well it depends on which side of the Earth is closer to the sun. The closes side to the sun is bright and the furtherest side is the darkest it depends.
Assuming you mean "why": if the Sun appears to set, that is the result of Earth's rotation.
The rotation of the earth is what causes the sun to appear to set
no and no
The side towards the sun.
When a side of the earth faces the sun, it's day. The opposite side is experiencing night.
Because that is the direction the earth rotates. It is not so much a law as a natural phenomenon.
