Sunrise

Sunrise occurs when the Earth rotates to position a specific location in its path facing the sun. As the sun appears to rise above the horizon, its light travels through the atmosphere, which bends and scatters it, creating the gradual brightening we see. This cycle marks the start of daytime and varies depending on your geographic location and the time of year. The timing of sunrise is influenced by Earth's tilt and orbit, causing it to shift throughout the year, especially noticeable at higher latitudes.
