I believe the Sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. However, the exact location of sunset and sunrise do slightly shift during the seasons. Not to a new direction though.

If you have 13 foot ceilings which direction should the fans be turning?

For rooms with high ceilings like 13-foot ceilings, the ceiling fans should be set to turn counterclockwise in the summer to create a breeze and promote better air circulation. In the winter, switch the ceiling fan direction to clockwise to help distribute heat more evenly throughout the room.


What time does the sun rise and set in winter?

Why do the poles get 24 hour day and night?

The poles experience 24 hours of daylight in summer and 24 hours of darkness in winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer, the pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Sun to never fully set, while in winter, the pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in continuous darkness.


Should ceiling fan switch be up or down in summer?

With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.


What side does the sun rise and set during the summer and winter solstices?

The sun sets and rises at the moment of every single solstice, summer and winter. You just have to be at the location on earth where it is happening. The locations are always changing because of the complicated relationship between the earth's orbital period and rotational period. If you want to know when such things will happen where you are, you need to give a location. But even then, it may not be easy trying to determine such a thing.

Why do clock go slower in summer and faster in winter?

Clocks do not actually go slower in summer and faster in winter.

How do you tell if your ceiling fan is going clockwise or counter clockwise?

lay on the floor and look up at it. If it is moving the same direction as a clock it is moving clockwise. Hold a piece of tissue paper at a corner such that it is near (but not touching) the fan blades. If the fan lifts the paper toward the ceiling then it is rotating clockwise. This is best for winter. If the fan pushes the paper toward the floor (causing a breeze) then it is rotating counter clockwise. This is best for summer.


Why were the summer and winter Olympics not held in the same year?

Because it doesn't give the two countries hosting both enough time to set up and get ready. Also, athletes wouldn't have enough time to prepare.

Is alaska's sky black in the summer or the winter?

In Alaska, as mid-winter approaches, the days get shorter and shorter. Depending on how far North you are (BIG state) by midwinter the sun does not rise. In summer, days get longer and longer until, mid-summer, the sun does not set. Alaska has beautiful blue skies in the summer- and while it may be dark in winter, there is often color in the sky- the Northern Lights put on quite a show in the sky.
