Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sun rises due east on the vernal equinox (around March 20th) regardless of the observer's location on Earth. Option A is incorrect because stars rise in the east and set in the west everywhere on Earth. Option B is incorrect because the Sun rises due east only on the equinoxes, and rises north or south of due east for the rest of the year depending on the observer's latitude. Option D is incorrect because Polaris (the North Star) appears due north only for observers located very close to the North Pole; for observers in the southern hemisphere, Polaris appears very low near the northern horizon or not visible at all.
