From any place on earth, on every clear day, when the sun rises, it rises from somewhere on
the eastern half of the horizon, and when it sets, it sets into somewhere on the western half
of the horizon.
That goes also for places in the polar regions ... more poleward than the Arctic and Antarctic
Circles. Those are the regions where once a year, there is no sunrise for at least 24 hours,
and no sunset for at least 24 hours during the other half of the year. In those regions as well,
when the sun does rise, it rises from the eastern horizon, and when it does set, it sets at the
western horizon.
