English: The reversal in the sunrise and sunset direction is a distinct feature that can only happen if Earth passes through a swarm of dust, debris, and broken pieces of a comet and in doing so forms a thin comet shell around Earth, making it the “canopied earth.” The prominent feature of this transformation is the reversal of the sunrise and sunset direction. In canopied earth the insolation direction reaching Earth would be opposite to the blue-skied Earth. The sun disk that without canopy would rise on the east would become a polar sun in the canopy and rise on the west. The light of the polar sun would reflect off of the canopy surface and shine in a direction opposite to that of the blue-skied Earth. The reversal is distinct and global.
