∙ 9y agoAn exact location of the sun can not be established because the sun does not remain in a stationary position. During the Spring, the sun moves in a direct path from east to west for 12 hours. This path is experienced globally, and the entire world will experience two 12 hour days in the Spring Equinox and two 12 hour days in the Fall Equinox.
