The Earth is divided into the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere by the equator
About 23,50 above and below the equator are the Tropic of Cancer and the
Tropic of Capricorn respectively. The path followed by the Earth
around the Sun is called the ecliptic and a perpendicular line from the ecliptic
plane makes an angle of 23,50 to the earth’s axis of rotation.
This tilt is the primary source of the seasons on Earth.
The earth is rotating around its axis from west to east making the sunrise from
the east and set in the west. The question is, Does the sun always rise in the east
and set in the west?
Due to the Earth’s tilt, the sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south
around September 22nd or 23rd (23rd Sep 2023 @8H50 SAST)
