Theoretically, the sun's light reaches (or can reach) the farthest objects in the universe, unless the light is intercepted by something else along the way. There are locations far enough away that the sun's light has not yet reached them. That said, the sun's light does reach every object in the solar system at some time or another, even if the objects are too far away for us to see with the unaided eye from earth. It is possible for a planet or another object to be tidally locked with the sun, just as the moon is tidally locked with the earth. I don't think there are any such objects known in our solar system. In such a case, an object would orbit the sun while always showing the same face to the sun. The sun would never shine (or rise) on the far side of such an object.

The saying refers to the rectum.

However the sun itself shines light everywhere in all directions for lightyears. Only in the deepest recesses of caves on earth and where the light is deliberately obscured exist on earth. Similarly in the wider solar system only the deepest caves would have no sunlight at all.

1). Inside a coal mine

2). Inside a submarine while it is submerged

3). Inside a cubicle in an office building

There is no place on the surface of the earth where the sun never shines, no matter what they used to tell us in Boot Camp.

Why is the distance people have to travel to get somewhere often longer than the actual distance between two places?

It is because the distance you have to travel between to places never have a straight path from point to point.


Why you cant see any of the inner planets in midnight from earth?

The inner two planets are, from our view, always toward or behind the sun, to a certain extent, when we see the night sky we are looking away from the sun. During the day when our sky views the sun, the sun out shines any and everything near it. Both planets do reflect light but in comparison to the brightness of the sun it is very little and gets drowned out, like a candle in front of a search light. At times the planets will align so that Venus can be viewed during the beginning or end of night, but will never be visible during the middle of the night when our view of the sky is facing directly away from the sun. Mercury is difficult, at best, to view even if it aligns perfectly for viewing and requires special equipment to view.


Why won't Pluto collide with Neptune?

Pluto orbits the Sun exactly two times for every three Neptune orbits, which ensures they never come close together.


Which line of latitude never experiences the sun 90 degrees overhead?

Any latitude above 23.5 degrees north or south will never experience the Sun as being directly overhead. We call these lines the Tropic of Cancer to the north, or the Tropic of Capricorn to the south. The area between the two lines are called "the tropics".


What important discoveries about Earth the planets and the sun came from the scientist Alexandria?

They found the diameter of the Earth by measuring the angle of the Sun above the horizon at noon at two different places, Alexandria and Aswan. The 7 degree difference gave the Earth's circumference as 360/7 times the distance between those two cities.

Why is 23.5 degrees used for two of the latitude lines geographers use?

Because those lines mark the places farthest north and south where the sun can ever appear directly overhead at any time of the year. The overhead sun reaches those places on June 21 and December 21 every year. It always stays between those two lines, and never crosses either one.

Wet streets after a rain eventually dry out when the sun shines. Spilled gasoline at the gas pump rapidly evaporates into the air. The initial puddle on the ground shrinks quickly as it evaporates.
