    Just a technical point, if you fly west at noon the sun will not appear or disappear. Just a technical point, pilots get very beautiful views from the front seat.

    Just a technical point……… the sun does not come up…. nor does it rise…….. it appears in the eastern horizon and disappears in the western horizon…. why?
