Question

It's a simple question. Find the probability that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. Wait. You will say that its 1 but the sun doesn't actually rise. The earth revolves around the sun. So it should be 0. So, what's the probability?

Answer 1

The sun neither rises or sets it only appears to do so because the earth takes one day (24 hours to rotate on its axis). It only appears to an observer on earth that the sun rises and sets. It has appeared to do this for as long as the earth has existed (approx. 4.5 billion years), although of course humans have only been around to see this for around 3.5 million years. Scientists believe that the sun will continue to burn for perhaps  another  4.5 billion years but life on earth will be extinct long before that.

As for the probability that we will have the impression of the sun rising tomorrow, on a scale of 0 -1 this would be 1 i.e. it is certain.

Answer 2

• There is nothing known headed towards the earth with that type of power, so we are safe.
• If you live north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic Circle, then there are times of the year where the sun never sets or never rises.
• It appears to rise since the earth is rotating.
• As the Earth rotates toward the east, it looks like the sun is moving west.
• so the probability that we will see the sun tommorow will be 1 (in india)
