being closer to the sun have an effect

It does, tho not necessarily rain that's made of water. It could be acid rain or something like that.

The sun is made of hydrogen.

The sun always travels from east to west.  No matter where you are or time of year

WE definitely get out there early, usually as soon as the sun is up.  And then again at night, but the morning is much nicer than at night.  Your definetely not alone.

because at that time it is below the horizon and its rays are reflected to us by different layers of atmosphere.while comoing to us it is diffused

the sun was behind the clouds, therefore there was a shadow.

its something you cant stop happening such as the sun coming up each morning

100 miles distance is quite insignificant as compared to the millions of Kilometers of the distance between the Sun and the Earth. Nothing will happen except change in duration of day and night for a few seconds.

the sun and or the moon

Y not........great chance to expose skin to high sun and chance to meet mandela.......

NO, angle of the earth on it's axis limits sunlight for a few months. The days never warm up.

hey its japan where the sun rises earlier from other places

Actually, at our close range to the sun, it would be so bright that everything would be completely washed out. It would be blinding to even be outside. It is true that the photosphere will be cooler, but the sun will be so much larger that the total light we receive will be much, much more. As for sunset and sunrise, if I had to guess I'd say that they would take longer and it would stay bright for a long time after the sun goes down (and get brighter a long time before the sun comes up). This is all assuming that it hasn't swallowed the Earth yet, which it will do at some point.

The sun doesn't change its angle, but due to the movement of the Earth around the sun and due to the tilt of Earth about 23.5 degrees from its axis of rotation around itself, the sun appears to rise from a different location at the east every day. If you can visualize this movement of the sun rise from the east, you can understand why we have 4 seasons in the year. Let me explain it for you: Let me start from the spring season. On this day the sun is perpendicular to the equator. We call this event as the vernal equinox, which happens twice a year; Once on March 21, and once on September 21. On these dates the sun rises exactly at the location where the equator crosses the horizon when you look towards the East. Now from here on the sun starts to rise north of the equator gradually every day and with a different daily rate. This is true because the motion of the earth around the sun is not constant. When the sun rises above the equator or north of the equator 23.5 degrees, it becomes perpendicular to the tropic of Cancer, during which time the northern hemisphere enjoys more than 20 hours of sun light during the summer especially at the areas near the North Pole. In fact any body lives with the North Pole Arctic circle enjoys 6 months of sun shine which never sets except on September 21 when it goes below the horizon only to return on March 21 of the following year.\n\nNow when the sun is perpendicular to the tropic of cancer, it begins to go downward as at this time it has reached the maximum rise above the equator. On September 21, the sun again is above the equator and returns to the same point it was during the beginning of spring. The suns continues to go down below the equator until it reaches the tropic of Capricorn, at which time the sun rises from a location about 23.5 south of the equator. During this time the sun shines only 5 to 6 hours to countries that are far above or north of the equator. This whole movement of the sun occurs due to the tilt of the Earth axis around which it rotates on daily basis, and due to Earth rotation around the sun. Earth makes one revolution around the sun once every approximately 365.6 days. I hope that makes sense to you.\n\n \n.

Wow! Thanks for the "heads up".  I wasn't aware of that.  I'm in Florida, so around 2pm here I should be able to set up some equipment so that the whole office can see it.  We have a lot of optical equipment here so it'll be a great opportunity.\n\nFor Jessi:\nYou can take a telescope and point it towards the sun. (Don't look through the telescope)  Then project the sun's image onto a blank sheet of paper and focus until you see the sun's image.  You'll be able to see sunspots and Mercury passing from right to left along the bottom side of the image.  It should last from about 2pm edt until sunset.

As sure as the sun will.
