indanomati Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I honestly thought you were kidding, Jules hehe But anyway, yes, it does. As it turns out hundreds of years ago, this mad man, Galileo, found out that the earth actually revolves around the sun not the other way around hence having the sun rising in the east in all parts of the world along with the fact that the Earth as well revolves around itself.

Black Rose Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Maybe if you were at the north/south poles the sun won't rise in the east ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well assuming you're at a time in which the Earth isn't tilted at all (0 degrees), the sun wouldn't really "rise" at all, it'd just chill on the horizon endlessly.

The Escapist Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The sun always rises in the east but at different inclines to the north or south depending on what season it is. In the Artic and Antarctic there are actually months were there is total sunshine or total darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
