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.
Which horizon the sun rise over?
The sun rises in the east.
Where does the sun set down at?
The sun sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. This daily phenomenon occurs as the Earth spins on its axis, causing the sun to disappear below the horizon in the evening.
Is sunrise determined when the sun is fully visible at the horizon?
Yes, sunrise is defined as the moment when the upper limb of the sun first appears above the horizon in the morning. This marks the beginning of daylight.
The angle between the suns position in the sky and the horizon is what?
The angle between the sun's position in the sky and the horizon is called the altitude of the sun. It is the measurement from the horizon to the center of the sun's disk. This angle changes throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.
On which horizon does the sun set?
The western horizon.
What is sun set and moon set?
when the sun/moon appears to slowly meet the horizon and disappear
When the sun comes down or up or over the horizon you say it has?
risen or set
Where is there a great place to see the sun set on the horizon?
a beach facing west
What horizon does the sun rise and set on?
The sun rises on the eastern horizon and sets on the western horizon. Twice a day you won't need a compass to find your direction.
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!
What is the apparent movement when the sun is at sunset?
The apparent movement when the sun is at sunset is the sun appearing to move along the horizon line, gradually decreasing in altitude until it disappears from view. This is due to the Earth's rotation causing the sun to appear to set below the horizon.
On which horizon does the sun appear?
Eastern Horizon
Does the sun set in the evening?
Yes, the sun sets in the evening as the Earth rotates and the sun moves below the horizon, causing the sky to darken.
What is the scientific explanation for the optical illusion of the sun appearing to rise and set over the horizon?
The optical illusion of the sun appearing to rise and set over the horizon is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, it creates the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky, when in reality, it is the Earth that is moving. This phenomenon is known as sunrise and sunset.
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).

When the moon crosses the western side of the horizon plane is it rising or setting?
If you see the Moon on the western horizon, it is setting in the sky.Both the moon and the sun RISE IN THE EAST AND SET IN THE WEST.
