It’s spring. Summer starts in December.

I spent a day at the Pole one year.

It takes the sun two weeks to set and two weeks to rise.

In June, I wrote “Sunrise” on half of my sunset slides. I realized they all looked the same.

I hesitate to take any pictures of a setting sun - no matter how glorious it is.

We know the path the Sun makes on the first day of Spring and the first of Fall at the poles: it sits on the horizon and makes a complete circle around an observer.

But I've never heard it described or seen any pictures of the way the Moon's orbit looks like then.

Sorry; but this NOT correct.

The moon and sun have nearly identical angular diameters. That's how we get Solar eclipses.
