no, you can check with online tool, very clever and easy to use is: http://www.sunearthtools.com/dp/tools/pos_sun.php here you obtain the sun path in Cartesian and Polar chart, at any point on the earth at a particular time of day, and time of rise set and noon.

No, the sunrise and sunset times at the equator vary slightly each day due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. The equator experiences relatively consistent day length throughout the year, with the difference in sunrise and sunset times being most noticeable as one moves towards the poles.

Although we measure every day as exactly 24 hours, the actual time from when the sun is at its highest elevation, known as apparent solar noon, on one day to apparent solar noon of the next day varies through the year due to the eccentricity of Earth's orbit causing the Earth to speed up when it's closest to the sun in early January and slow down when it's farthest away in early July and due to the tilt of Earth's rotational axis with respect to its orbital plane. About half of our apparent solar days are a little longer than 24 hours and about half are a little shorter. Averaging all of the apparent solar days of a whole year gives us the mean solar day of 24 hours. The difference between apparent solar time, also called sundial time, and mean solar time, or clock time, is called the equation of time. The total extent of the variation is about a half hour with extremes at around the 3rd of November and around the 11th of February. Since the time from sunrise to sunset is 12.1 hours every day of the year along the equator, sunrise and sunset do occur at the same time every day according to sundial time, but to get the actual clock times we have to add the equation of time every day. That causes the the sunrise and sunset times to vary by about a half hour through the year with extremes around the 3rd of November and around the 11th of February.

Where are sunrise and sunset at the same time?
Sunrise and sunset happen at the same time at the equator, specifically during the spring and fall equinoxes. This occurs because the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the Sun's rays at the equator during these times.
What country has the same sunset time and sunrise time everyday?
Countries located near the equator, such as Ecuador or Kenya, experience relatively consistent sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. This is due to their proximity to the equator, which causes less variation in day length compared to countries farther from the equator.
What nation has the sunrise and sunset at the same time?
None
Is it you can see sunrise and sunset at the same place?
No, it is not possible to see the sunrise and sunset at the same place in a single day. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation. However, during certain times of the year in polar regions, there may be phenomena like the midnight sun where the sun is visible at midnight, but this is not simultaneous with sunset.
How can it be sunrise and sunset at the same moment?
For two antipodal locations (on opposite sides of the Earth) it will be sunrise for one when it is sunset for the other.Also, on the winter solstice, areas very near the North Pole or South Pole may experience a "day" of only a few minutes length, with sunrise quickly becoming sunset and the Sun never leaving the horizon. At the Poles themselves, the period from sunrise to sunset, and sunset to sunrise, is 6 full months.
Does the sun set at the same time everyday?
No, sunrise and sunset vary every day.
Why does sun seem to appear two minutes before actual sunrise?
the sun is visible to us about 2 minutes before the sunrise & about 2 minutes after actual sunset because of atmospheric refraction.By actual sunrise, we mean the actual crossing of the horizon by the sun. The time difference between actual sunset & the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes. The apparent flattening of the sun"s disc at sunrise & sunset is also due to the same phenomenon .
What is a simile for sunset?
the sky was as colorful as a fire
Does the sun rise and set you the same directions each day?
Pretty much, yes, depending on your location. The precise direction of sunrise and sunset will vary slowly through the year.
Why is sunset and sunrise at the same time in the Philippines?
The Philippines lies near the equator, where the length of day and night remains relatively constant throughout the year. This phenomenon can make the sunrise and sunset times appear to converge, especially during certain times of the year.
Does the sun set at the same time?
No, they are not quite the same thing. The dawn is when the sky begins to lighten, sunrise is when the Sun "peeks" over the horizon. Dawn is the beginning of twilight before sunrise. Sunrise is defined as when the first part of the Sun's disc appears.
How does sunrise and sunset prove the earth is spherical?
Sunrise and sunset occur at different times for locations at different longitudes on Earth. This is because the curved shape of the Earth causes the Sun to be visible from some places while it is still below the horizon for others. This phenomenon is only possible on a spherical Earth and cannot be explained on a flat Earth model.
