Gisborne is a city in New Zealand that is the first to see the sunrise every day due to its eastern location in the country.
That is a difficult question.Heres why: There is no first sunrise. There never was. Even in the first day it was not a first sunrise. The Earth is so old that the first day started when it was no bigger than that dust mite family crawling up your arm! (dust mites are microscopic little things, google 'em) The first country to get the sunrise is England, France, could be anyone. We don't know. Great question by the way.
