Warren and others,
After installing Sun Clock which can be found on www.mapmaker.com you
can easily see that there is a whole range of locations on the earth
with different longitudes where the sun sets simultaneously. A
picture tells us sometimes much more then a story.

But I am having a problem understanding something.
Are you saying below that ANY two locations MUST have a moment of mutual
sunrise/sunset?
Or are you saying, for any location there exists a second location at EVERY
longitude that will have one mutual moment sunrise/sunset? I can understand
the second statement, but not the first. At first glance I rejected the
second statement, but clearly it must be true if the sun covers half the
Earth every instant.
