Sun only rises due East twice a year

[The Original Tree]

That is both the spring and fall equinox.
However , if you live on the equator then it’s 365 days a year
On the poles it’s zero

Most of us see it only twice a year!!
Rest of the year it’s half the time SE or NE depending on the month


Rises is the East and sets in the West is garbage

The Sun never rises it stays up all night.

Yes but it rises low on the horizon and archs around from your earths perspective

We are rotating and circling the Sun we are not concentric to the Sun.

Actually scientists still cannot prove whether or not we orbit the sun or the sun orbits us.

If you were a curious man, you would do some research. You can prove either mathematically, so since you cannot rule one or the other out it is still possible that the sun is actually orbiting the Earth and not the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Much of science is only theory and guess work. There is actually very little empirical science.

Not true at all

Not really. I hold two Science degrees and graduated Suma
If you are talking about mechanical sciences, or Physics you could said that is partly true, but much of mechanical theory, or theoretical physics is theory.

All Theories stay Theories until they can be proven, and then they become laws.

Global Warming is a theory. And it is largely based on sketchy data and bad models like a lot of theories. The reason theories stay theories is because they cannot solve for X.....ever....which means something is off in the theory, though they might have other data which is correct.

Not solvable and reproducible or observable, and it will never become a Scientific Law.

However , if you live on the equator then it’s 365 days a year

No ... it's still just twice a year at the equator ...

On the poles it’s zero

No ... the sun rises once a year due south at the North Pole ... due north at the South Pole ...

False, it is North of East for the summer and south of east for the winter.

Sunrise and sunset in the most important cities of Ecuador

The cities are ordered by their geographic position from east to west, so in an approximate direction of the sun course. Since the orbit of the sun is elliptical, sunrise or sunset never happen on a whole longitude at the same time. All data given for March 11th., localtime in Ecuador

It rise and sets EVERY DAY of the year.

=====

True, It rises once at about March 21 and stays above the Horizon until about September 21

Spring

The sun rises at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox, approximately March 21, and the sun rises higher in the sky with each advancing day, reaching a maximum height at the Summer Solstice, approximately June 21.

I am replying to ReinyDays.

 

[ReinyDays]

On the equator it is due west and east

But only on the days of the the two equinoxes ...

Between Mar 21st and Sep 21st, the Sun passes north of the zenith ... the rest south ... except on those days the Sun passes right overhead ...

=====

What S'Tommy said about the North Pole is only true for "astronomical" sunrise ... due to the refraction of the Earth's atmosphere bending the sunlight towards herself ... "apparent" sunrise is a week or two ahead of that date ...

I had to read your title and post a few times to truly understand what you are saying.

I don't think it's entirely true.

On the equator, the sun would only rise directly east on the day of each equinox. After the March equinox, it would thereafter rise more northeastish until the solstice, then start moving back toward due east; and after the June equinox, it would similarly rise more southeastish until the solstice, after which it would move back toward due east. From the equator to Arctic and Antarctic circles, the day on which it rises due east would depend on the latitude, and beyond those circles, it would never rise due east.

Now what gets really weird is what happens at the poles. At either pole, you would only see one sunrise and one sunset per year. At the equinox, the sun would be on the horizon. After the March equinox if you are on the North Pole, or after the June equinox if you are on the South Pole, you would just see the sun circling around the sky, slowly spiraling upward, until the next Solstice, and which point, the Sun would begin slowly spiraling downward. At the next equinox, the Sun would again be on the horizon, setting, after which you would not see it until half a year later, at the next equinox, when it would rise again.

Excellent description of the Sun's movement from the Poles ... this can be simulated with a planetarium ... if you even get the chance, it's worth the price of admission ..
