Knowledge like “the sun rises in the East and sets in the West” goes out the window when you live at Around 60 degrees or further North.
I highly recommend spending 12 months way up north to have your mind constantly blown by the path of the sun. Every year it’s still a shock to watch.
- PeterisP 4y agoIt's because the actual true statement is that the sun is in the East at 6 o'clock in the morning and in the West at 6 o'clock in the evening, and of course, if the sun rises at 3 or 9 (and perhaps you've got a timezone that's more than half an hour off of 'local sun time' and one more hour shift caused by daylights savings time) then it makes quite a difference. But if you would have an analog watch with a 24-hour dial tuned to your local sun time, then you should be able to effectively treat it as a compass everywhere, also way up north.
