It's interesting to note that this question was first posted here on June 23rd ...
two days after the longest day/earliest sunrise in the northern Hemisphere.

It'll be just as interesting to wait and see whether the questioner comes back on December 23rd,
and asks why the sun rises so < late > in Minnesota.

In Antarctica there are usually two weeks in midwinter Around June 21 when the sun does not rise and a couple of weeks in summer around Christmas when there is 24-hour sunlight Why?

It is because the Earth is tilted. As it orbits the sun there is a time that Antarctica is tipped away from the sun completely, so even when the Earth rotates the sun does not rise at all. The reverse happens at the other stage, with Antarctica being tipped towards the sun completely.It is because the Earth is tilted.

When sun set time is same why sun rise time is different?

Because the orbit of the sun is some what curved and elliptical so it causes variation in timings of sunrise and sunset.


Why does the sun rise in the east before the west?

because the angle the earth is at when the sun rises is east, because the earth is slightly tilted, so the uk is facing east before it rotates. hope this helped x


The sun appears to rise latest and set earliest during summer why?

That description isn't true at all. In fact, it's just the opposite: Summer is the time of year when the sun rises earliest and sets latest, giving us the longest periods of daylight ... and heating.

Why do you say that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west?

The reason it is said that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west is that it doesn't actually rise or set. From our vantage point, it appears that the sun is moving across the sky when in reality, it is the rotation of our own planet that causes the transition from night to day and so on.

Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?

While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.
