My SHOCKING First Impressions of Ghana As A Kenyan

[@sibongilegodana3512]

Ghana looks really beautiful. African countries, steadily but certainly are developing at a rapid pace, Watching from Pretoria, South Africa😍😍😄

[@blackowl641]

sibongilegodana3512 Thank you. Unfortunately some south africans think only their nation is developed though. Appreciate you for saying things as you see them We might not be kenya or south africa, but I think we might have many things they don't.

[@tundebakare6887]

Thanks

[@zewdenat]

Yes, Ghana is near the equator, which means it experiences nearly equal hours of daylight and night throughout the year-approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. This is due to the Earth's tilt and its position relative to the Sun, which doesn't change much around the equator. As you move further north or south from the equator, the length of the day and night varies more, especially as you approach the poles. This is why places farther north experience longer days in summer and shorter days in winter. In Ghana, since it's close to the equator, it tends to get dark around 6 PM year-round. Enjoy your staying

[@7yqgevdj6]

U far awayy from equator.Kenya iz literally on the equator

[@QueenDesta]

Kenya too is at the equator, what's different is the sun rises and sets very early here in Ghana compared to Kenya

[@williamgamelisenaya793]

@@QueenDesta it's not the equator that determines the movement of the sun, it's calculated from the Greenwich meridian from East to West longitude 0°. The sun rises from the East & sets on the west. Go figure

[@blackowl641]

nonofyourbusiness We're not that far away from the equator. We're close enough for it to have an effect

[@blackowl641]

williamgamelisenaya793 How far north or south you are definitely determines how much sun you get. He didn't say the equator itself determines the amount of sun. You're aware the earth is titled right?

[@Antimony-wh5in]

The kids who look like Ethiopians are Tuaregs/Fulanis from Northern Africa mainly the north of Niger and Mali.

⁠madam! Your tour guide is not smart at all. His knowledge about Ghana is subpar! Those kids begging on the streets are not refugees! They are economic migrants from neighboring countries of mali and niger. They belong to the Tuareg ethnicity of west Africa and Northern Africa. They are not Lebanese nor Ethiopians!… change your tour guide or else you will be misled. If you can’t change him, just read more about places you will be visiting in order not to rely on him for vital information.

[@muragegitari6052]

Hi Queen Desta. Thank you for representing us, as our Kenyan explorer in Ghana. About sun setting. The Equator traverses kenya in the middle. Accra, at 6 degrees N, is further north than the nothernmost part of Keny at 4 degrees. In October, the sun is far down at about 23 degrees S. That is why in Accra, the sun sets slowly and starts earlier than Nairobi, which is very close to the Equator.
