∙ 14y agoSolar sunrise refers to the moment when the first part of the sun becomes visible above the horizon at sunrise. This event marks the beginning of a new day, and the time of solar sunrise varies depending on the observer's location and the time of year.
The period of time from sunset to sunrise is typically around 12 hours, but can vary depending on the time of year and location.
Sunrise Earth - 2004 Solar Eclipse 1-52 was released on: USA: 25 June 2006
The same as local apparent noon. When the sun is the highest in the sky. This is true. However; to be more specific solar noon is half way between sunrise and sunset. It's at solar noon that a point gets the most direct sunlight of the day. To calculate solar noon you find out how many hours of daylight there are between sunrise and sunset and divide by 2. Add the quotient to the sunrise time and that will give you the solar noon time.
On September 23, the duration of time between sunrise and solar noon is approximately 6 hours. This can vary depending on the specific location and time zone.
The answer is NOT Venus. It is MERCURY. Venus takes longer to spin once than does Mercury. However Venus spins in the opposite direction to Mercury. The result is that Mercury has the longest "sunrise to sunrise" times.
Venus has the longest sidereal day (period of rotation or spin). This "day" is 243.0185 Earth days long and Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth. This day on Venus is actually longer than its "year". It takes more time for the planet to turn one time on its axis than it takes to go around the Sun. A "year" on Venus takes only 224.7 Earth days.However, the longest solar day occurs on Mercury, which completes its slow spin about once every 59 Earth days but also circles the Sun in just 88 Earth days. This tidally-locked combination leads to a solar day (roughly sunrise to sunrise) of 176 Earth days, twice as long as the "year".On Venus, because it rotates clockwise but orbits counter-clockwise, the effect is to make a solar day ("daytime" is brighter, but there's no sunrise through the clouds) about 116.75 Earth days.Minor comment: The actual question may be asking something different, but that's not clear.
I'm assuming you mean sunset, as they occur ONLY after sunrise (during the day). Rainbows require solar radiation (light) to scatter off of water droplets suspended in the air.
There's an awesome spreadsheet available the calculates that and a whole lot of other solar data. Search for "NOAA Solar Calculations Year".
there would be no solar shadow However there might be a lunar one
The next solar eclipse visible from the Caribbean will occur on April 20, 2023. This will be a partial solar eclipse where only a portion of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon as seen from the region.
It can happen at any time of day - while the Sun is above the horizon, of course, otherwise you won't see a solar eclipse.
No, the light before sunrise is called the dawn or twilight, not the aurora. The aurora refers to natural light displays in the sky, predominantly seen in polar regions, caused by the interaction of solar wind with the Earth's atmosphere.
