What side does the sun set on earth?

Answer 1

The sun rises from the east and sets in the west.

Answer 2

The moon's apparent rise and set is caused by the rotation of the earth. Consequently, the Sun and the Moon and all the Stars appear to rise in the East and set in the West. The sun really stays in one place. It looks like it's going down because when the earth turns around to the moon, it gets farther and goes under the horizon ( not literally in your sight ).

Answer 3

There is no place on earth where the sun never rises. The closest thing to it is the situation

at the earth's poles.

At the north and south poles, the sun is down for 6 solid months at a time; but after that,

it's up for the next 6 solid months.

Answer 4

The Moon's orbit is not synchronized to the Earth's orbit around the Sun; there isn't really an association between moonrise and the solstice. However, as a general rule, all celestial bodies rise in the east and set in the west.

Answer 5

No. There's no place on earth where the sun doesn't rise, and no place where it doesn't set.

There are large areas that don't necessarily experience a sunrise and sunset every 24 hours.

At the north and south poles, for example, the sun rises and sets exactly once a year. But

wherever on earth an observer may be located, he definitely sees the sun rise and set

from that location.

Answer 6

Anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't set from some time before June 21 until

the same length of time after June 21. The farther north, the longer the total period of time is.

At the north pole, the sun doesn't set between March 21 and September 21.

Answer 7

Within a few hundred miles of the South Pole, the Sun will not rise, and it will be dark from now until mid-September. Within a few hundred miles of the North Pole, the Sun will not rise - because it didn't SET, and they (the polar bears) will have "midnight sun" until mid-September.

Answer 8

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The earth is also slightly on a tilt. So no, the sun does not directly rise at the equator.

My version:The sun rises and sets at every point on the planet, including the equator.

The north and south poles less often than the rest of the world, but that's just weird.

Answer 9

Nowhere. The Earth rotates from West to East, therefore, the apparent movement of stars and planets is from east to west. An object would have to move around the Earth in less than 24 hours to have an apparent movement from west to east - this happens with artificial satellites, and sometimes (as in the case of planet Mars) with natural satellites (moons).

Answer 10

There is no place on earth where the sun doesn't rise, and no place where it doesn't set.

But there are places where these occasions don't necessarily occur every 24 hours. North of the

Arctic Circle, and south of the Antarctic Circle, there's one period of at least 24 hours in the year

when the sun doesn't rise, and one period of at least 24 hours in the year when it doesn't set.

The closer you are to the poles, the longer these periods are. At the north and south poles, the

sun is above the horizon for 6 months, and below it for the other six months.
