Where are you standing if the sun is rising precisely due east?

If the sun is rising precisely due east, you are located at a latitude where the sun's path aligns directly with the cardinal directions, typically around the equator during the equinoxes. This phenomenon occurs when the tilt of the Earth's axis does not favor either hemisphere, allowing the sun to rise exactly in the east and set in the west. In general, this can happen in many locations around the world, but it is most notable near the equator.
