Why does the Sun rise and set in a different place each day?

But it appears to rise and set because of the Earth’s rotation on its axis. It makes one complete turn every 24 hours. As the Earth rotates toward the east, it looks like the sun is moving west. As the Earth rotates, different locations on Earth pass through the sun’s light.

Does the Sun rise and set at the same time on the equator?

At the equator the Sun rises perpendicularly from the horizon and sets perpendicularly, regardless of the season. Also, the total path of the Sun, day and night, is divided equally by the horizon. This effect causes the sunrise to appear about three minutes early and sunset late by the same amount.

For us Earthlings, Sun is moving and going from east to west everyday just to make you enjoy a romantic eve with your better half seeing the sunset. (See how good the sun is 🙂 ). So that’s why we say it’s SUNSET and SUNRISE. And not that Earth rotation half, and Earth rotation complete.

Does the sun rise and set in the same place every day?

Each day the rising and setting points change slightly. At the summer solstice, the Sun rises as far to the northeast as it ever does, and sets as far to the northwest. Every day after that, the Sun rises a tiny bit further south. At the fall equinox, the Sun rises due east and sets due west.
