Why is Canada sunset same and Florida but the Sunrise is different?

The sunrise and sunset times are different all around the world every day of the year except for two, the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. This is caused by:

  • the tilt of the Earth
  • the locations of the places on the Earth with relation to the equator
  • the location of the places with regard to the time zones

In the case of Florida and Canada, Canada is much further north than Florida. Canada also extends through several time zones (Newfoundland, Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific) while Florida is primarily in the Eastern Time Zone with the panhandle in the Central Time Zone.

Even in a time zone the sme of actual sunrise and sunset (by the clock) varies at there is a one hour difference between clock time and sun time across the zone.

Why is venus only near sunrise or sunset?

Since Mercury is so close to the Sun, it can only be seen during the twilight hours when there is no glare from the Sun for it to get lost in. Venus on the other hand can be seen either just before sunrise or just after sunset since it both rises and sets before the Sun.

Why isn't June 21 the hottest day as the longest?

For the same reason that it's not hottest at noon: temperature lags heat input. The earth doesn't come to equilibrium on the day with the highest heat input; the next day the sun is still putting enough heat into the system to make it a little warmer. And the next day and so on until the heat input drops enough that it's not quite enough to make things continue to get hotter, then the temperature starts to drop. The higher the heat capacity, the greater the lag. Oceans can store a lot more heat than land. Places that are dominated by oceans (like the west coast of North America) are not only more moderate, the annual high comes later than in places that are far from oceans. The the highest average daily high Omaha is in mid-July, three weeks after the solstice. In Seattle it's the first week of August, three weeks later.

On which planet would the time between sunrise and sunset be the shortest?

The time between sunrise and sunset would be shortest on planet Mercury. This is because Mercury has a very short rotation period, completing one rotation on its axis in just about 59 Earth days; resulting in a relatively short day and fast movement around the sun leading to quick sunrises and sunsets.

Most comets are found before the sunrise or the sunset?

Comets are typically observed before sunrise or after sunset when the sky is dark enough to see their faint tails against the backdrop of space. This is because comets are most visible at these times when they are illuminated by the sun but not obscured by the brightness of daylight.

Why does sunset start getting later before the winter solstice?

The Earth is "leaning back"; its tilt of about 23.5 degrees is away from the Sun in winter. Indeed, this is what MAKES it winter: the warming sunlight is spread over more area, so it's colder. [Shine a flashlight on a flat surface with the beam perpendicular; now move the light so the beam "grazes" the surface: see how much larger the spot becomes?]

What time zone does sun set and rise?

The times vary, depending on your geographical location, and the time of year. I suggest you go to one of the sites that shows the local weather, it should also include times of sunrise and sunset.
