The sun appears to rise in the east for everyone on Earth, including those in Britain.

* The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation is what causes the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.

* As the Earth turns eastward, the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

While the exact direction of sunrise and sunset can vary slightly depending on your location and the time of year, the general principle remains the same: the sun always appears to rise in the east.
