Please Provide Religion or belief + one of (Yes/No/Don’t know/The sun does not exist.)

Yes, The sun is still there its just on the other side of the world due to the earths rotation. They teach you this in the first grade.

The moon also reflects light from the sun.

    The sun shines 24 hours a day, just not onto the same places on Earth at the same time :)

    The planet rotates, the sun continually ’shines’
    until it grows into a Red Giant…eventually.

    Does the sun…shine?

    It is assumed to be the case, although you can’t see it.

    There is no religion involved in the sun… the earth rotates, when it is night we are not facing the sun. The sun shines 24/7 yes, at night we are just not facing the sun, so we cannot see it or be illuminated by its light…

    Yes, it just shines for someone else. Take condolence in that when it shines for you, it will not for them.

    You don’t have to state that you’re an atheist to know the sun shines on the other half of the planet.

    But since we are… CHRISTIAN.

    I’m unattached to any particular religion.

    When it is night on one side of a planet, it is day on the other side, provided nothing is blocking the sunlight.

    In a wider scope, the sun shines constantly in all directions (regardless of the planet) until all of its gases run out.

    Yes it keeps on shining in other parts of the world.

    Not only that but there are billions of other suns shining all over the universe.

    Chapter 91; the Sun

    THE EXPLANATION
    1. {وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا}

    These are two (2) adjurations. Allah adjured by the sun and its light. Imam al-Bukhariyy said: Mujahid said that duhaha (َضُحَاهَا) means ‘its (the sun’s) light’.

    2. {وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلاهَا}

    Imam al-Bukhariyy said this is when the moon follows the sun, because when the sun sets, the crescent appears the first night of the month.

    3. {وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلاَّهَا}

    The meaning is when the day exposes the sun. When the day spreads out, the sun is clearly exposed.

    4. {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا}

    When the night falls, it covers the light of the sun with its darkness.

    5. {وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا}

    It means ‘by the sky and the One who created it.’
