Is there no sunrise or sunset at the equator?
-------------------------------------------------------
answers:
D g say: The earth ROTATES evenn the equator rotates the sun rises in the east.because of the rotation.
As the location on the equator where you ars moves east the sun moves west
-
Peter say: Correct. it’s always only midday or midnight.
-
Mike G say: Why wouldn't there be?
-
Bulldog redux say: It's very cloudy there.
-
John P say: Oh yes there is!!! Ask anybody who lives in that part of the world. Ask anybody who knows even the slightest thing about science.
-
Soliman say: yes,there has
-
Clive say: Of course there is. Every day.
-
Ronald 7 say: Ask a Tribesman
He hasn't got a clue either
-
Starrysky say: In a cave or under water, no sun at all.
Otherwise, yes there are sunsets and sunrises.
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: Of course there is. All year long.
But, above the Arctic Circle, or below the Antarctic Circle, the sun may not rise every day, or may not set every day, depending on the time of the year.
-
Crazy Jon say: Of course there is a sunrise and sunset every day at the equator. But there is very little twilight in either morning or evening. Is this what you meant?
-
Jackolantern say: Yes there is. And it comes up and goes down pretty much at a ninety degrees angle with the horizon. The farther north and south you go from the equator, the more of an angle it comes up and down.
-
sparrow say: Yes. There's a sunset everyday. Because the Earth is spinning the fastest at
the equator. It's at the poles that they can go days in darkness, or days with constant light.
-
Adullah M say: From sunrise to sun set in 21st of March is equal of having 12 hours each.I mean at equatorial zone.
-
Tom S say: Yes, one of each, every day.
-
Bill-M say: No.
-
The Phoenix say: You need to study more.
-
poldi2 say: Of course there is sunrise and sunset at the equator - the entire Earth rotates (including the equator) so the sun appears to rise and set at the equator just as it does everywhere else.
I am curious why you needed to ask the question.
-
Fuhr say: Have you ever seen a globe in your entire life?
-
say: No, just tribal fart winds from trumps wall
-
D50 say: Do you mean Why is it always nighttime at the equator? Oops, I meant Why is it always daytime at the equator?
-
Nikki say: the only places on earth that experience only one sunrise and sunset are at the north and south poles of the earth. also important is the distinction between magnetic-north pole and geographic-north pole.
wikipedia: time; In most places on Earth, local time is determined by longitude, such that the time of day is more-or-less synchronised to the position of the sun in the sky (for example, at midday the sun is roughly at its highest). This line of reasoning fails at the North Pole, where the sun rises and sets only once per year, and all lines of longitude, and hence all time zones, converge. There is no permanent human presence at the North Pole and no particular time zone has been assigned. Polar expeditions may use any time zone that is convenient, such as Greenwich Mean Time, or the time zone of the country from which they departed.[citation needed]

PhotonX say: Of course there is--that's an astoundingly stupid question. Should we assume you're a Trump supporter?

Acetek say: you must have been home schooled

CarolOklaNola say: Yes, there definitely is sunrise and sunset at the equator. Cali, Colombia is about 2 a d a half degrees north if if equator. There was sunrise and sunset there in September through December 1976. There were also daily 4 to 6 hour power blackouts.
-
Chewy Ivan 2 say: No. There is a sunrise and sunset every day at the equator. However, there are times when the sun never sets at the poles around the winter and summer solstices. The sun will dip towards the horizon near midnight but starts rising again without actually setting.
