idk im tryin to figure out how it works traveling east

he says u wont end up at the equator i think u will

If you keep going north then yeah

noone said north

pretend you travel east, all the way around the earth, from New York City, and every 10 miles you check the compass to make sure youe are traveling east

why did u say north

nope

will you reach the equator?

im traveling east toward the sunrise when it rises east for everyone at the equator

There are different ways of explaining it. The celestial equator always intersects with the horizon at east and west as an arc except for at the "poles", so the sun crossing that would rise east and set west.

ur saying if i go east i dont end up at the equator

Only traveling east won't get you to the equator

i think youre wrong

i think going east takes u to the equator

I don't think you would on either model

u have to go north east to circumnavigate back to newyork

im jsut talkin about the globe

Lets say youre traveling by following the sunset. if youre following the sunrise on earth, you will not be traveling east the whole trip. if you saw a comapass while you following the rising sun, you would travel east only at the very start of your trip

2 days a year the sun rises east for everyone and on those days the sun rises at the equator we all agree on this fact right ?

from sun rise to noon, the sun will slowly move constantly from east to south

so as you traeling towards it, you will travel that way as will

just hang on

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
