The Amazon river is very close to the equator. The earth is rotating on its axis. It rotates onces every 24 hours and the earth is about 24000 miles in circumference. So at the equator, the earth is turning at about 1000 miles per hour. (At the poles, the surface speed is nearly zero.) At this speed, the sun rises and sets very quickly. You do not notice the speed of the earth on the surface, but the sun appears to rise and set rapidly. At or near the equator, the sun rises at about 6AM and sets at about 6 PM every day of the year. In the morning, at 6 AM, it is almost totally dark. By 6:30 AM, the sun is up and full daylight is everywhere. Similarly in the evening, it is daylight at 6 PM and dark at 6:30. Day length changes very little at the equator. You do not experience longer summer days with long evening twilight nor short winter days. 12 hours a day, every day of the year is light, 12 hours dark. It is also "summer" all year. Temperature changes about 10 to 15 degrees from day to night and varies little all year. Summary: It gets dark fast. Even faster in the forest with thick, tall trees.

if you head out going toward the west.
