Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Sunrise is defined as the moment the top of the sun's disc first breaks the plane of the horizon in the morning, and sunset is when the top of the sun's disc sinks below the horizon in the evening.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sunrise (or sunup) is the moment when the upper rim of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning.[1] The term can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon and its accompanying atmospheric effects.[2]
Sunset, also known as sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon due to Earth's rotation. As viewed from everywhere on Earth (except the North and South poles), the equinox Sun sets due west at the moment of both the Spring and Autumn equinox. As viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, the sun sets to the northwest (or not at all) in the Northern hemisphere's spring and summer, and to the southwest in the autumn and winter; these seasons are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere
