The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code. If you add the WikiAnswers category "Sunset Times", I'll see it.

You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

Where exactly is this Western Hemisphere you talk of? I know of the Equator, which divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. If you head North or South from any point on the planet, eventually you will arrive there, the same cannot be said about East and West.

Why did jean de very think that the western hemisphere should be called the new world?

Asked by Wiki User

Jean de Verrazano was a French explorer who is credited with the first recorded European exploration of the Atlantic coast of North America, in 1524. He referred to the land he explored as the "New World" because it was unknown to Europeans at the time and represented a new land that was different from the "Old World" of Europe, Asia and Africa that they were familiar with.

It was a new land and new opportunities. The naming of the "New World" was also driven by the Age of Exploration, the period of European history in which Europeans began to explore and colonize the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. This period was characterized by a spirit of adventure and a desire for wealth and power. Many explorers, including Verrazano, believed that the New World held untold riches and opportunities for those who could claim it, hence the name "New World".
