does the sun always rise from the east?

If you are on the same planet that I am, yes!\n\nThe earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis. Therefore the sun will always "rise" in the east. The reason I put rise in quotes...b/c the sun doesn't actually rise. It is from our perspective that it seems to rise.\n\nThe only way you will see the sun rise in the west...\n1. you are on Venus (clockwise rotation)\n2. a major astroid strikes earth & changes earth's rotation so that it goes clockwise. But the problem here is that your chances of still being around to see it is nil.\n\nAlso, all the planets in our solar system have a counterclockwise revolution path around the sun.

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.

Graves face east and west because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west the relevance i dont really know buts thats why as far as i know:P

- The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.\n\n- If there is broken cloud in the morning we may look to the west and see red light reflecting back from the cloud, i.e. 'red sky in the morning'. As the clouds are coming towards us there must be a chance of rain, at least an increased chance compared with the cloudless period we had just enjoyed.\n\n- Likewise for 'red sky at night'. If we see red clouds in the evening they will be in the east and have already passed us by, giving a good chance of clear skies and fine weather ahead.

LOL!  \n\nThat's like asking the question:  Looking out *your* living room window, from which direction would you say the sun rises?   \n\nP.S.  Nice nic.  ; )

NO, angle of the earth on it's axis limits sunlight for a few months. The days never warm up.

This will depend on where in Panama you are but basically, it is due to the hook shape of the archipelago that Panama is on.  At one point, there is a curve that allows an arm of the Atlantic to extend southward, ending up on the west side of the land.  That same curve allows an arm of the Pacific to extend northward, placing it on the east side of the land.  If you are standing at this land point, you can see the sun rise on the Pacific and set on the Atlantic.

Join the real world and study the scientific facts on the website below.\n\nhttp://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html\n\nHOTFLASH..!!!!\nThe earth isn't flat, and the sun always rises in the east

no, it's because of the rotation of the earth.  Clocks in the southern hemisphere go around the other direction, like your toilet ;-).\n\nIt's because the shadow on a sun dial in England goes around that direction.

hey its japan where the sun rises earlier from other places

No because the sun always shines

The further North you are, the more northerly the path of the sun appears as the summer approaches. It would be "south of west" only if the earth was flat.

It depends upon what your latitude is.  The farther north you are in the northern hemisphere, the longer the daylight will be during the summer.  In fact, the sun won't set at all at the North Pole!  This is all thanks to the tilt of the earth.  During the summer in the northern hemisphere, the earth is in such a position around the sun that it is the northern hemisphere that is receiving the most direct rays.  It is on the summer solstice that it reaches the zenith.  From that point forward, the daylight will start to decrease until the earth is on the opposite side of the the sun.  At that date (winter solstice) the tilt of the earth will cause the northern hemisphere to receive the least direct rays and thus, the longest night will occur.

i want to see the daily path of the sun on the sky:\n\nrising from east and setting to west as everywhere on earth but going through north at noon not south as in northern hemisphere. must be fascinating to see: all shadows at noon pointing south instead of north\n\nlove your beaches too

Not every latitude gets a minute every day. Some get more, some get less. But daylight starts increasing immediately, as the previous answer said.

It depends on exactly where you live and what time of year it is, but right now the sun rises at about 5:45 where I live.

Sun rises in east and sets in west, so earth spins easterly
