At the Earth's equator a person would have to run 1037 mph to keep up with the Sun -- to have perpetual noon, for example. Obviously impossible.
However, on a few of the planets or the Earth's Moon, it is in theory possible for a human running on the body's equator to keep up with the Sun. For two extra credit points each, name those bodies.
You must show your calculations, and you will lose points for incorrect answers so check those calculations. Remember that you need to use the lengths of the solar days on the bodies, not the sidereal (with respect to the stars) day. You are racing the Sun, not the stars.
