《地球日出》是一部自然纪录片电视系列片，每集一小时，在美国的Discovery HD Theater播出，现在更名为HD Theater。该系列的重点是向观众展示世界各地不同地理位置的日出。它还因完全没有人的解说而引人注目，而是集中在每一集特定地点的自然声音上。高清晰度视频图像和杜比5.1立体环绕声被用来清晰而详细地展示每个自然环境。该节目是被称为 "体验式电视 "的类型的一个例子，由该系列的创作者大卫-康纳弗开发。这种技术被电视评论家汤姆-夏莱斯描述为 "疯狂的不平凡和彻底的精彩"。

Maak de mooiste zonsopkomsten mee zoals in het Black Sands geisergebeid in Yellowstone National Park waar de vroege duisternis plaats maakt voor licht, water en stoom die ontspruit aan de aarde. Zie hoe bij het opmerkelijke Stonehenge een stormachtige dag aanbreekt en hoe fel zonlicht zich een weg baant door scheuren en spleten om het mos te voeden dat op deze stenen leeft. Of droom weg bij witte strand, omgeven door sabal palmen, aan de Gulf Coast in Florida.

Sunrise Earth is a nature documentary television series featuring hour-long episodes that aired in the United States on Discovery HD Theater, now renamed HD Theater. The series focuses on presenting the viewer with sunrises in various geographical locations throughout the world. It is also notable for its complete lack of human narration, concentrating instead on the natural sounds of each episodes' specific location. High-definition video images and Dolby 5.1 stereo surround sound are used to present each natural environment in a clear and detailed manner. The show is an example of the genre known as "Experiential TV", developed by series creator David Conover. The technique has been described by TV critic Tom Shales as "crazily uneventful and thoroughly wonderful."
