American Samoa is the country where the sun rises last.
While Samoa is one of the first places to see the sunrise, American Samoa, located only about 100 km away, experiences sunrise much later due to its position west of the International Date Line. This time difference results in American Samoa being among the last inhabited places to welcome the new day.
The key factor here is the International Date Line. Countries east of the line see the sunrise earlier, and countries west see it later. This explains why two locations so geographically close can have such a significant difference in sunrise times.
