Seeing the rising sun gives so much mental peace and freshness that if you see the rising sun every day, you will always feel positive. But to see the sun rise first, you have to go to Japan! If you think the same, then you are probably wrong! People have always been saying that Japan is the country of the rising sun (Where on Earth does the sun rise first), but this is not true. Today we are going to tell you about the place on earth where the sun rises first.
According to the Live Science website, the name of that place on Earth (First sunrise on Earth) is Millennium Island (Millennium Island, Kiribati) which is in the country named Kiribati located in the Pacific Ocean. The name of this island is also Caroline Island. The sun rises here first, unlike anywhere else on earth. For this reason, Kiribati also has the first time zone on earth. Now you will say that the sun rises at different times at different places on earth. The Earth is round, so there can be no exact sunrise or sunset.

The first sunrise occurs in this country
For this you have to understand the concept of International Date Line. This imaginary line is passing through the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This line marks the end of one day and the beginning of another. This line passes through the Millennium Island of Kiribati. For this reason the first sunrise is considered to be here. There are 33 atolls and reef islands in this country. One of these is a non-inhabited island, named Millennium Island.
Where does the first sunrise occur in India?
Cameron Hamels, a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology, says there is no single first sunrise in the world. That cannot happen because the sun appears to rise at different times at different places. Now if you are wondering where the first sunrise occurs in India, then let us tell you that the first sunrise is seen in Dong town of Arunachal Pradesh. This is a very beautiful place.
