Is it true that in Panama the sun rises in the pacific and sets in the Atlantic, and how is this true?
please explain in full, thanks
a very small part of Panama is located in an area where the ocean to the east is the pacific and the ocean to the west is the atlantic. This is due to the shape of Panama, it has the form of a flat S oriented east-west, and if you are in the middle of the S, the pacific is eastward and the atlantic westward. Look on Google earth or in an atlas and you will see what I mean.
