Is there a different sunrise due to a different altitude?
At higher altitudes, you may notice the sunrise appears earlier than expected due to being above obstructions like mountains. Additionally, the colors of the sunrise may appear more vibrant and the sun's rays may appear more intense due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes.
Why does sun appear flat during sunrise and sunset?
The sun rays have to travel through a larger atmospheric distance. Most of the blue light and shorter wave lengths are removed by scattering . Only red colour,which is least scatterd is received by our eyes and appear to come from sun .Hence the appearance of sun at sunset or sunrise looks almost flat .lovenish
Is it true that for Britain the sun appears to rise in the east?
This is true not only for Britain, but for everywhere in the world. The Sun rises in the east. Sometimes a little north of east, sometimes a little south of east, but generally east. In reality, the Sun doesn't move; it's the Earth spinning from west to east that makes it appear that way.
If you're watching the sunrise are you facing east or west?
If you're watching the sunrise, you are facing east. Sunrise occurs in the east as the sun rises in the morning and sets in the west in the evening.
How do you find the characteristic of the Sun appears to 'rise' in the east?
Sunrise is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sunappears above the horizon in the east. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins.
Does smoke make the sun appear red?
No, smoke does not make the sun appear red. The sun appears red during sunrise and sunset due to the scattering of light in the Earth's atmosphere.
When did the longest shadows appear?
The longest shadows typically appear around sunrise and sunset when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This usually occurs during the winter months when the sun is at its lowest angle.
Is sunrise an optical illusion?
No, sunrise is not an optical illusion. It is the result of the Earth rotating on its axis, causing the sun to appear above the horizon as the Earth's location moves into the path of sunlight.
Why sun appears oval at sunrise and sunset but appears circular at noon?
At sunrise and sunset the sun is near the horizon. The rays of light from upper & lower part of the periphery of the sun bend unequally on travelling through earth's atmosphere. That is why sun appear oval or flattened at sunrise and sunset. At noon sun is overhead. The rays of light from the sun enter earth's atmosphere normally. Therefore they suffer no refraction or bending on passing through. Hence the sun appears circular at noon.
Why sun appear bigger and seems to passes an oval shape during sunrise and sunset?
it is because it suffers unequal refraction
From Britain which direction can you see the sun when it is highest in the sky?
it depends the season, if it is winter then the sun would appear to be further to the south and if it is summer then it would appear maybe dirrectly over head or further to the north
Why does sun seem to appear two minutes before actual sunrise?
the sun is visible to us about 2 minutes before the sunrise & about 2 minutes after actual sunset because of atmospheric refraction.By actual sunrise, we mean the actual crossing of the horizon by the sun. The time difference between actual sunset & the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes. The apparent flattening of the sun"s disc at sunrise & sunset is also due to the same phenomenon .
Why is there sunset and sunrise?
The Sun doesn't really rise and set; the Sun sits there in the center of our solar system, unmoving. It is the Earth spinning - and us with it - that makes the Sun appear to rise in the East and set in the west.
Is there a different sunrise due to a different altitude?
At higher altitudes, you may notice the sunrise appears earlier than expected due to being above obstructions like mountains. Additionally, the colors of the sunrise may appear more vibrant and the sun's rays may appear more intense due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes.
What is Sunrise?
Sunrise refers to the time in the morning when the sun appears.
When does the sun appear at its highest and lowest point?
The sun appears at its highest point around midday, when it reaches its highest position in the sky. The sun appears at its lowest point during sunrise and sunset, when it is closest to the horizon.
What made the tornado funnel appear pink to?
A tornado may appear pink if it is lit up by the setting or rising sun. Note that you are far more likely to see a tornado at sunset than at sunrise.
