b. there are two dates when the Sun is 90 degrees overhead at noor
c. the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
d. the Sun is always 90 degrees overhead at noon.

Answer 1

On the equator, the Sun neither rises nor sets. It is always approximately 90 degrees overhead at noon. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is:

a. the Sun neither rise or sets

Living on the equator, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, just like anywhere else on Earth. However, due to the equator's location, the Sun's path appears to be almost perpendicular to the horizon, resulting in the Sun being approximately 90 degrees overhead at noon throughout the year. This means that at noon, the Sun is at its highest point in the sky, directly above you.
