The daily ritual of firing at the enemy at sunrise is commonly referred to as the "morning barrage." This tactic is often utilized in military operations to surprise and weaken the enemy at the start of the day.

What happen to the length of the shadow from sun rise to sunset in one day?
The length of an object's shadow is equal to the height of the object divided by the tangent of the angle of the sun's elevation above the horizon. At sunrise, when the sun's elevation is 0, the length of shadows is (theoretically) infinity. Shadows get shorter as the sun's elevation increases. Since the tangent of 45° is 1, when the sun's elevation is 45°, half way between the horizon and straight up, the length of the shadow of an object is the same as the height of the object. At apparent solar noon the sun's elevation is at its maximum for the day, so the length of an object's shadow is at its minimum for the day. On the equinoxes that length is approximately the height of the object times the tangent of your latitude. Also, at apparent solar noon on the equinoxes, all shadows in the northern hemisphere point due north, and all shadows in the southern hemisphere point due south. Between the tropics and the polar regions, that is true of every day. If the sun were directly overhead, which cannot happen north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's elevation would be 90°. The tangent of 90° is infinity, so the length of a shadow is 0. Finally, as the sun's elevation decreases from apparent solar noon until sunset, shadow lengths increase.
What is the cause of advance sunrise and delay sunset?
advanced sunrise and sunset is due to the phenomenon of atmospheric refraction. we see the sunrise two min. before the actual sunrise. at that time the sun is just below the horizon. so , the rays from below the horizon come towards our eyes in a bent form but as you know our eyes see the image in a straight line.. therefore, the bent rays seem to be coming from a straight line above the horizon. same is the case for late sunset. hope its clear to you a bit!! enjoy

Is sunset time changing in recent years?
Sunset time can vary slightly from year to year due to factors such as the Earth's tilt and its orbit around the sun. However, any significant changes in sunset time over recent years would likely be due to natural variations and not a consistent trend.
The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code.

What time is sunrise in NJ on 12 29?
The sun always sets at it's most southerly location regardless of the season or which hemisphere an observer is viewing the sun set. Every year between September 21 and March 21 the sun will set south-west (and rise south-east) and between March 21 and September 21 the sun will always set north-west (and rise north-east). On March 21 and September 21 - the equinoxes - the sun rises directly east and sets directly west.

Does the sun rise latest on the day of the winter solstice?
The latest sunrise of the year is near the winter solstice but not the same date in most places. The date varies with latitude. In Anchorage, around 61° north latitude, the latest sunrise is around December 27th. In New York, around 40° north latitude, the latest sunrise is around January 4th. In Miami, around 26° north latitude, the latest sunrise is around January 13th.
I'm pretty sure the variation has to do with the equation of time. That's the difference between apparent solar time, or sundial time, and mean solar time, or clock time. That difference is zero just a few days after the December solstice but reaches its maximum (or minimum depending on how you look at it) of about 14.2 minutes ahead of the sun as soon as February 11th. I suspect that the equation of time has more effect on the date of the latest sunrise closer to the equator because the daily change in sunrise time is less there.
