How does the sun appear from different parts of the world?

The appearance of the sun can vary greatly depending on the viewer's location in the world. This is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis and its position in relation to the sun.

At the equator, the sun appears almost directly overhead at noon, and there is very little variation in daylight hours throughout the year. As you move towards the poles, the angle of the sun in the sky becomes lower and the length of daylight varies more dramatically throughout the year.

During the summer solstice, the sun can be seen 24 hours a day in areas above the Arctic Circle, while during the winter solstice, the sun may not rise at all in those same areas. In other parts of the world, the sun may appear to rise and set in a different direction depending on the season.
