The sun rises first at the International Date Line, which is a line of longitude that runs through the Pacific Ocean.

Here's why:

* Earth's Rotation: The Earth rotates from west to east. This means that locations in the east see the sunrise before locations in the west.

* International Date Line: The International Date Line is an imaginary line that separates one day from the next. It's generally located at 180 degrees longitude, but it deviates slightly to avoid crossing landmasses.

So, when it's midnight on the east side of the International Date Line, it's already the next day on the west side. This means that the first rays of the sun hit the Earth on the western side of the International Date Line.

However, it's not a single point: The sun rises over a relatively large area along the western side of the International Date Line, not just one specific spot. The exact location of the first sunrise varies slightly depending on the time of year.
