Yes, the effect is due not to the Sun moving but to the Earth rotating and the speed of rotation of the Earth is constant.

Does the sun go down faster in the northeast than the south?

The speed at which the sun appears to set is the same across different locations on Earth. However, some factors such as terrain and altitude can make it appear to set more quickly in certain places. Overall, the sun sets at the same rate regardless of location on a flat horizon.


At what speed would you have to travel at the equator heading west to never see sun set?

To never see the sun set while traveling west at the equator, you would need to move at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, which is approximately 1,040 miles per hour (1,670 kilometers per hour). This is because you would be moving in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation, allowing you to stay in sync with the sun's position in the sky.


Do all the planets travel around the sun at the same speed yes or no?

no they do not


Why does the sun appear to rise and set through it is actually not moving?

The sun appears to rise and set due to Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet come into and out of the sun's light, creating the illusion of the sun moving across the sky. In reality, the sun stays in the same position in space.


Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?

No, planets do not revolve around the sun at the same speed. Their orbital speeds depend on their distance from the sun - planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and faster speeds, while those further away have longer orbital periods and slower speeds.

Why do all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?

because the gravety is the same and it carrys all the mass from from the sun and is is so used to rataing with the sun it makes all the parts of the sun at the same past of speed. In fact, because it's gaseous, the Sun doesn't all rotate at the same speed.


Does Spain spin at the same speed as New Zealand?

The whole Earth rotates at the same speed, otherwise it would come apart! And it all travels in a path (called the ecliptic) round the Sun.

What is the past tense of the sun set in the west?

It's the same - the sun set in the west. Set is an irregular verb. The past tense is also 'set'.

Because that is the distance is has to travel at the speed it orbits the Sun.

When the sun set do it travel to a different galaxy?

no, the sun does not move, however we do, but we stay in the same galaxy

What is gravity assisst?

That refers to using the gravity of a planet - for example Jupiter - to speed up a spacecraft. Note that the spacecraft approaches the planet with a certain speed, and goes away from it at the same speed, with respect to the planet. However, since in doing so it changes direction, and since the planet orbits the Sun, it is possible to set things up so that the spacecraft leaves with a greater speed with respect to the Sun.
