Explain the occurrence of sunrise and sunset.

Open in App
Solution

  • The Sun stays in its position at the center of our solar system, however, we see the Sun rising in the East and set in the West.
  • This rise and the set is because the Earth rotates on its axis.
  • Due to the rotation of the Earth, those in the region moving from darkness to light feel sunrise, and those going from light to darkness experience the sunset.
