How does high school geography judge the direction of sunrise and sunset in a place?

The North Pole is due south and the South Pole is due north. Extreme day area: in the northern hemisphere, sunrise and sunset are due north; In the southern hemisphere, sunrise and sunset are due south. Summer half year in the northern hemisphere: both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere rise in the northeast and fall in the northwest; Winter half year in the northern hemisphere: both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere rise in the southeast and fall in the southwest. Except for the North Pole and the South Pole, vernal equinox rises due east and sets due west.

The specific analysis is as follows:

1, at the spring and autumn equinoxes, sunrise and sunset all over the world rise from due east and set from due west, except for the north and south poles.

2. When the sun shines directly in the northern hemisphere, except in extreme areas of day and night, the sun rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest all over the world, and the closer the latitude of the sun's direct point is to the tropic of cancer, the farther north the sunrise and sunset are; The higher the latitude, the farther north the sunrise and sunset are.

3. When the sun shines directly in the southern hemisphere, except in extreme areas of day and night, the sun rises from the southeast and sets from the southwest all over the world, and the closer the latitude where the sun shines directly is to the tropic of Capricorn, the more southerly the sunrise and sunset are; The higher the latitude, the more southerly the sunrise and sunset.

To sum up, the position of sunrise and sunset in different places depends on the latitude position of the direct point of the sun and the local latitude position. The latitude position of the sun's direct point determines whether the sunrise and sunset are south or north, and the degree of south or north.

It is not difficult to see that on the same day, regardless of the position of the hemisphere, the direction of sunrise and sunset observed all over the world, whether in the south or in the north, is the same. The local latitude position will affect whether the sunrise and sunset are south or north.

When the sun shines directly in the northern hemisphere, the higher the latitude, the farther north the sunrise and sunset are; When the sun shines directly in the southern hemisphere, the higher the latitude, the more southerly the sunrise and sunset.

Extended data:

The position of the sun is the position of the sun in the sky when viewed from the surface of the earth. It is a function of time and geographical location.

When the earth orbits the sun for one year, the sun seems to follow a fixed path relative to the stars on the celestial sphere, which is called the ecliptic.

The rotation of the earth causes the stars in the sky to move along a certain path and way relative to the geographical latitude of the observer, and the time when a particular star passes through the meridian of the observer is related to the local longitude.
