<P> Everywhere around the world during the equinoxes ( March 20 / 21 and September 22 / 23 ) except for the poles , the sun rises due east and sets due west . In the Northern Hemisphere , the equinox sun peaks in the southern half ( about halfway up from the horizon at mid latitude ) of the sky , while in the Southern Hemisphere , that sun peaks in the northern half of the sky . When facing the equator , the sun appears to move from left to right in the Northern Hemisphere and from right to left in the Southern Hemisphere . </P>
