Where does the sun rise first on the planet?

Answer 1

Australia

Answer 2

Just as in every other country on Earth, the Sun rises in the East and sets in the west. Rises from East, Sets to West

Answer 3

If territories are included, the first U.S. sunrise on January 1 is at about 7:25 local time (19:25 December 31 UT) at Peacock Point (19° 16' N 166° 35' E) on Wake Island. Now consider this do you Wake up or do you Maine up in the morning, this is not a new concept.

==============================

I believe what we're looking for here is the point on USA land that's farthest east.

That would be the eastern tip of Semisopochnoi Island, at 179.78° East longitude,

less than 10 miles short of the easternmost possible longitude on Earth.

The island is in the Aleutian chain ... a part of the state of Alaska ... which crosses

the 180° meridian and proceeds westward to the western tip of Attu Island, at

about 172.45° East longitude.

Comments: You have to bear in mind where the International Date Line goes.

So, it's not just a simple case of where is furthest East.

Also sunrise times vary with latitude and time of year as has been mentioned

in other answers.

Whether you count the effect of altitude depends on how you define "sun rise" times.

Answer 4

If Guam is "Where America's Day Begins!". as the advertising slogan goes, then the Aleutian islands of Alaska is probably where America's day finally ends. Especially if you include the island of Shemya, one of the farthest islands out in the chain.

Answer 5

same place as the rest of the year. the eastern-most point. probably somewhere in maine. like quoddy head state park. Actually I have already found that the first place to view the sunrise between Oct 7 and March 6 is Cadillac Mtn in Acadia Natl Park, Maine. I will be there after March 6 and wanted to know the official spot during that time.....thank you though for your thoughts

Answer 6

it is either MAINE or Massachusetts, depending on the time of year. theres an article from January about it. hope this helps you!

Answer 7

Eastern

___________________________

Define "first". The island of Guam, a US Commonwealth island in the Pacific Ocean, has the slogan "Where America's Day Begins".

Answer 8

Sikim.

Sikim seems to me to be the wrong answer.

I think it must be somewhere in the east of the state Arunachal Pradesh,

but I don't know the precise answer.

Answer 9

The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Exactly which direction depends on your location and on the date.

Answer 10

The question is essentially meaningless, because the Earth is a sphere.
