2 days a year the sun rises east for everyone on earth regardless of your location and at the moment of sunrise the sun is located at the equator is this a fact

so if you circumnavigated from new york, you would never reach the equator

yea, but sun rise is only one moment

for everyone on earth

you can not travel sunrise all day

Kek

no, hes asking a good question

most people dont even ask these questions

ok

can i freeze everything and travel to the sun east ill be at the equator

what if i could travel very fast

yes

thats a straight line. On a sphere, any straight line will cross the equator

ok so we agree if i go east from ny i end up at the equator ?

Pictures can depict things like these so much better

ok

yes, only if you start east

Freeze everything you say?

well u told me before east wouldnt take me to the equator

or travel very fast

heres the difference:

traveling very fast is mroe realisti obviously

east takes u to the equator from any point on earth

1) You start East, and you constantly make sure you are always going East.
2) You stat East, and you make sure you are going in a straight path, never turning left or right.

you got the idea, if you could freeze time, and traveling the same direction as you saw at sunset, and you will cross the equator

So like dead reckoning vs mapping longitudinal and latitude?

yea, or just a compass

ok the sun rises at the equator east for everyone on earth i got in a straight line east toward that spot

i go in a straight line east

east is a straight line toward that spot

are u saying east isnt at the sunrise on the equator ?

idk what ur saying honeslty im sorry

give me 3 minutes

ok imma go smoke brb

420

aight

So east intersects with the equator? That makes no sense

it makes perfect sense on the globe

How?

hold on
