Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By the June solstice (usually June 21), the sun rises considerably north of due east and sets considerably north of due west.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ecliptic is the sun’s apparent path across our sky. And the celestial equator intersects your horizon at points due east and due west. That’s why – at every equinox, no matter where you are on the globe – the sun, on the celestial equator, rises due east and sets due west.
Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, Kiribati’s easternmost uninhabited island, Millennium Island, also known as Caroline Island, is often the first place on Earth to welcome the sun.
