If the earth wasn’t tilted, would the sun rise due east everywhere or would it change due to latitude?
Wish I could change this on stellarium!
Thanks!

You may have noticed that Dawn takes longer in high latitudes. In this case, the circumpolar regions would not grow completely dark at all due to atmospheric refraction, hence the Sun would always appear to have some fraction of itsdisk visible on the horizon.Brian
