Q.1) In a place, it is predicted in a newspaper that sun will rise at 6’0 clock on some day in a big city having lots of mountains. How is that possible? Sun rises at different places at different time. It rises at different time in east of India and at different time in west of India. This is true even for people who live just a few kilometers apart.
To better understand this, consider Ram and Shyam. Ram lives behind Cold Mountain. Shyam lives in front of Cold Mountain. Ram and Shyam live on opposite sides of Cold Mountain. But they still live just five kilometers apart. When the sun rises, the front of Cold Mountain is bathed in light. Shyam looks out of his window and sees the sun. At this same time, however, the back of Cold Mountain remains in shadow. And it is still dark outside Ram’s window.
