Why does the sun rise always in the East and never in the West and why is it that the Sun always rises anyway?

That's how God set it up, silly!

That's because the Sun sets in the west...........\n\nOk! It rises in the east and sets in the west, because the Sun is stationary. But the earth rotates in a direction from west to the east. So you feel, that the Sun rises in the east.

It's the angle of the earth's rotation.  The northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun during winter, causing long periods of darkness, and towards the sun in summer, causing longer daylight hours.  At the extreme nothern latitudes, this leads to constant daylight or constant darkness at those times of the year.

it is due to the rotaion of the Earth with respect to Sun , \n\nit is visible from east first  not rising , \n\nthe light rays emerges form east.

it seems to rise in the east and set in the west, but it is really the rotation of the earth, so the sun isnt really rising or setting at all

It doesn't move, the earth rotates eastward so it appears the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, so can I have my 10 points?

hey its japan where the sun rises earlier from other places

I live in Alaska, so pay attention.  The earth is tilted; it doesn't spin at a right angle to the sun.  In summer, the north pole is tilted toward the sun, and as a result, the sun appears to circle the horizon, never actually setting.  In the winter, the opposite occurs.  The sun may peak over the southern horizon, but further north it never really rises.  In spring and fall, there is no difference from the rest of the U.S.

Because when the sun is up in korea, it can't be in the sky at the same time in england.  So when it is noon in korea, it's around midnight in england.  When the sun is coming up in korea (the sun comes up in the east) it is still 3 hours from coming up in india.  Since midnight is the beginning of a new day, the date is different as well.

The Earth orbits the sun in an ellipse.\n\nEvery ellipse has two foci. It is at these two points where the orbited body is normally located.\n\nPlease see the wiki source that has further information on how to get the numerical data if you need it.

Last answer is correct. During winter, the earth is physically closer to the sun and during the summer, it is furthest. \n\nTilt is key. Its important that not only is there a tilt on the earth, but the direction of that tilt is not altered during the rotation of the earth around the sun. \n\nThe Northern hemisphere is always tilting away during the winter, and towards the sun during the summer. The tilt of the earth is 23 degrees. So lets say you're at 45 degrees lattitude. During the summer, the sun will rise to 45+23 (68) degrees because the tilt is towards it, and in winter, the sun only goes to 45-23 (22) degrees. There is a big difference between the sun going up 22 degrees and the sun going to 68 degrees.\n\nWhen the sun goes to 68 degrees, it is more overhead, and the earth therefore receives more of its rays. During winter, light rays are striking obliquely, and hence do not warm the earth as much.\n\nThis is why there are less variations of seasons around the equator, where the sun is almost always directly overhead all the time.\n\nAnd this is why seasons are reversed on the southern hemisphere. When the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, the south is tilting away.

Every morning on Mars, the Sun rises in the East, and every evening, it sinks to the West.\nSomeone got cunfused with they're information. MARS ITSELF \nRISES AND SETS IN THE EARTH'S SKIES FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST.\nThe retrograde motion is what causes MARS to shift rise and set directions in OUR SKY.\n\nFor the Sun in the skies of Mars to rise and set  in opposite horizons would mean that Mars suddenly came to a stop and started spinning backwards on it's axis.\nMars could only change its direction of planetary rotation if a planet larger than itself crashed into it with an unimaginable amount of force.\nSo no, that information is incorrect and Mars still rotates the same way around our sun.

If you mean, Why does the moon travel from East to West ?" The answer is because The Earth rotates in the opposite direction.  In fact, the moon actually travels from West to East, and this can be seen simply by observing it on consecutive nights, and compare its position in the sky with other celestial objects.

As the heat of the sun--or anything else--causes air to rise, its radius of rotation changes; this change in radius would cause a change in the angular momentum, so to conserve the angular momentum of the particle, the rising air mass has to develop a small additional velocity (it turns out to be opposite the rotation of the earth) as rises.  Here, in the northern hemisphere, that air flow would go north and east.  Also, as the air moves north, the angular momentum changes--aggravating that easterly vector in the velocity.  Eventually, the air cools, and going down & back south causes more changes; oddly, and I can't recall the precise physics here, it still retains a major easterly vector.  Thus, because of the earth's spin, a particle of air that rises and falls in one of the large convection bands (living between the jet streams) will do a spiral--think a widely stretched spring, here.

It has to do with the direction the earth rotates on its axis. It rotates once every 24 hours. So, the direction it spins is the direction the sun passes by. The earth would have to completely stop and start to rotate in the opposite direction in order for the sun to rise in the west and set in the east. Hopefully that won't happen any time soon, because it would probably mess gravity all up.

Your question doesn't make much sense... "East" is a notion defined in terms of the Earth's surface, and where "East" points relative to _you_ in space rotates once a day as you rotate on the surface of the Earth.\n\nIf you give a specific point on Earth, and a specific time, someone could answer this question for you.
