Why sunrise is not the sun that ‘rises’? 為什麼說:日出不是日‘出’?
On 30.10.2017, I watched the constant changes in the sky within half an hour :
2017年 10 月 30日,欣賞半小時內天色不斷變化:

| 6:26 a.m. Two lines of clouds in the sky which were actually the smoke left by aeroplanes 驚見天空兩條人造的「雲」,俗稱飛機雲(飛機噴出的白煙) |
![]() |
| 6:38 a.m. The lines of clouds were lit up by the rising sun 飛機雲被照成發亮的金黃色, 天色由藍變紅 |

| 6:43 a.m. Orange red sky lighting up the hill edge. 天色橙紅,山脊金黃 |

| 6:50 a.m. The sun gradually appeared behind the hillslope 太陽呈白色半圓形,在山脊隱現 |
![]() |
| 6:52 a.m. The sun rises behind from the hill slope 白日從山脊後爬升,光芒畢露 |
After watching this sunrise, I have these thoughts : the sun is always there in the universe and has not risen. It's only from our viewing location that we see the sun rises.
The globe keeps turning 25 hours a day and we are traveling in the speed like on aeroplanes but we won't feel dizzy. How come? These are all the Creator's design of the universe.
這天看完日「出」,有幾點思考:其實,太陽在太空之中一直發光,從沒有「升起」 (rise),只是因為我們所在的位置,隨著地球自轉,從夜間背著太陽,轉到早上一個可以見到太陽的位置而已!所以日出其實是從人的角度去看。
再推想下去:地球每天自轉一次,我們豈不是以飛機般的速度,每天不停在太空轉一個大圈?但我們怎麼沒有移動的感覺呢?是因為地心吸力?造物主真計算精準!廿四小時高速飛行,不覺得暈眩啊!
肉眼不能(也不宜)清楚觀看太陽位置,但將 6:50 a.m. 及6:52 a.m. 的照片比較,才知道太陽「升」得如此快,只消兩分鐘便從山脊後冒「升」出來,令我想起這比喻:『太陽.......如勇士歡然奔路』(詩篇19:5)

Comparing the two photos, it takes only two minutes and the sun has risen so much! Like Psalm 19:5 said.

| 10.10.2017 The sun on top of the summit 日出山峰頂 |
Comparing photos taken within twenty days, the sun 'rise'position has moved so much. In fact, the position that we see the sun rises is different day by day.
As the globe axis is tilted and the globe travels around the sun, it gives seasons and different climate to the world, providing us food and a suitable living environment. (Image that without tilting or rotating, the sun would be shining on one area constantly.)
猶記得,10月10日的日出照(上圖),當時日「出」位置在山峰頂,而20日後的今天,已移到山峰的右邊了。只20日已有如此明顯差別,原理是因為地軸傾斜,加上地球在公轉的軌道上每天位置不同,太陽不斷「游走」於直射北迴歸線與南迴歸線之間。簡單而言,太陽的日「出」位置,四季不同。我不能不讚嘆創造奇工,因為計算精密,才能造出一個適宜人類居住的地球,且四季氣候變化,令植物生長有周期,風流動......
備註:
高空風力弱時,飛機所噴出的白煙,便會留在空中一段時間,不同於去年所拍得的交叉(下圖),今天是八字(上面第一幅圖)。由於剛好在日出時分,所以白煙被旭日映照光亮,很白,隨後被風吹才漸散開。網上有資料稱這種為「飛機雲」。
