From a point on the surface of the earth, the sun appears to rise from the eastern horizon every day. This simple, general statement has to exclude points within 23.5 degrees of the north and south poles (inside the Arctic and Antarctic circles). At any point within these circles, there are days when the sun does not set, and nights when the sun does not rise.
