The sun isn't moving.\nThe sun appears to move east to west because Earth is rotating on its axis (actually, the earth is rotating on its axis, as well as rotating around the sun)

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.

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

Try\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hemisphere\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Hemisphere\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasia\n\nActually, you can only divide the world into two hemispheres, usually either Northern and Soouthern, or Eastern and Western, so I can't give you detailed info on which country is situated in which hemisphere, but the links I gave you states the name of countries at each continent. Hope it helped!

If you were to go a million miles (or so) over the north pole, you'd see the earth rotating counterclockwise, the moon revolving around the earth counterclockwise, and the earth moving counterclockwise around the sun.  \n\nIt is the earth's counterclockwise rotation that makes the sun seem to rise in the east and set in the west.

east/west.\n\nto remember, longitutde has lines that are all as "long" as each other (one pole to the other.)

If you can't afford a compass, wake up early in the morning and look for the sun.  It will rise in the East.  If you turn 90° to the right, that will be South.  West is the opposite direction from East and North is the opposite direction from South.

Eastern Hemisphere. Any country in Europe, Africa, or Asia is in the Eastern Hemisphere.

none of them, the sun always sets on the western horizon. because the world turns on its axis, the sunset is always in the distance to anyone looking at it and is always changing positions

WHERE is INDIA  first tell me that

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.

The sun does not rise, simply the Earth rotates toward the East, so it seems that the sun is rising, but it's not.

About 8.\n\n\nTo clear up any  ambiguity contributed here by some--- The average distance from the Earth to the Sun (or 1 astronomical unit) is 8.317 light minutes. Saying it's "more" or "less" sometimes is stating the obvious-- it's an AVERAGE. Saying it's "usually" different than its average, is nonsensical. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_minute
