Q. What if Earth were twice as big?
If Earth’s diameter were doubled to about 16,000 miles, the planet’s mass would increase eight times, and the force of gravity on the planet would be twice as strong. Life would be: Built and proportioned differently.

Q. Can we live on the sun?
But if you take a look around, there’s nothing here for you to actually land on, because the sun doesn’t have any solid surface to speak of. It’s just a giant ball of hydrogen and helium gas. So instead of landing on the photosphere, you’re going to sink into it.
Q. Does Japan see the sun first?
Cape Inubo in Choshi, Chiba Prefecture, is expected to see one of the earliest sunrises in the country at 6:46 a.m., according to the Japan Coast Guard. The sun will only be seen earlier on Mount Fuji itself, and from the Izu and Ogasawara islands.
Q. Which country has half day and half night?
A quarter of Finland’s territory lies north of the Arctic Circle, and at the country’s northernmost point the sun does not set at all for 60 days during summer. In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August.
Q. Is Gisborne the first place to see the sun?
Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun of each new day. Gisborne – known as “Tairawhiti” – the light shines on the water – is a great place to relax and take your mind of big city “first-world” problems.
Q. Why does New Zealand see the sun first?
New Zealand is also located in the southern hemisphere, and because of Earth’s tilt and its location in orbit in relation to the sun from December 31st, through January 1st, the first fiery rays of brilliant light are first seen from East Cape.
Q. Why is sunrise so early in Japan?
The times of sunrise and sunset in Japan are influenced by the country’s moderate northern position in the hemisphere. Not as extreme as in the United States, but still noticeable. The days in summer are long and in winter short. With up to approximately 14:40 hours the longest days are in Juni.
Q. Why does the rising and setting sun appear red?
As sunlight travels through the earths atmosphere, gets scattered by the large number of molecules present. At sunset (or) sunrise, sun rays must pass through a larger atmospheric distance. More of the blue colouris scattered away only red colour which is least scattered appears to come from sun. Hence it appears red.
Q. What does a red sun mean at sunset?
During sunrise and sunset the sun is low in the sky, and it transmits light through the thickest part of the atmosphere. A red sky suggests an atmosphere loaded with dust and moisture particles. We see the red, because red wavelengths (the longest in the color spectrum) are breaking through the atmosphere.
Q. Is the sun orange or red?
It is a common misconception that the Sun is yellow, or orange or even red. However, the Sun is essentially all colors mixed together, which appear to our eyes as white.
Q. Why Sun is red during sunset and sunrise?
Within the visible range of light, red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules. So at sunrise and sunset, when the sunlight travels a long path through the atmosphere to reach our eyes, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving mostly red and yellow light remaining.
