At the North Pole the sun will rise above the horizon on and set below the horizon on?
At the North Pole, the Sun will rise above the horizon when spring starts, and it will set at the start of autumn.___________________________If you are at the north pole, then the Sun will rise about March 19, and set about September 23.I know, you expected to hear "March 21" and "September 21", right? Well, the fact is that the Sun's light is refracted around the Earth by the atmosphere; when we see the Sun peek over the horizon, it is ACTUALLY a couple of degrees BELOW the horizon! Celestial navigators have to apply a small correction to observations that are within about 15 degrees of the horizon.This leads to an interesting quirk; an observer at the south pole and an observer at the north pole will BOTH see the Sun as being just above the horizon!

Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?
While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.

Yes, the sun sets in the evening as the Earth rotates and the sun moves below the horizon, causing the sky to darken.
How many degrees above the horizon does the upper edge of a rainbow usually reach?
The altitude of the highest point of the rainbow that you see is (42 degrees) minus (the altitude of the sun above the horizon behind you). If the sun is sitting right on the horizon ... just risen or just about to set ... then the highest point of the rainbow is about 42 degrees above the horizon opposite the sun. If the sun is higher, then the rainbow is lower, by the same amount. If the sun is more than about 42 degrees above the horizon, then any rainbow you might otherwise see is entirely below the opposite horizon, and you don't see one.
What is the antonyms of the word Twilight?
twilight means when the sun rises, or when it sets/ the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon. So they really isn't one, because if it can be sunrise and sun set, they isn't an oppisite. Maybe you could find a word which means the sun is above the horizon.
