Here's why it's tricky:
* The Earth's Tilt: The Earth is tilted on its axis, which means the sun appears to rise and set at slightly different points on the horizon throughout the year.
* Near the Poles: At the North and South Poles, the sun actually circles around the horizon for periods of time. This means that while the sun *always* rises in the east, it can appear to rise in all directions, including south, west, and north, depending on the time of year.
So, the answer to your question is:
* The North Pole: The sun will rise in every direction at the North Pole during the summer months.
* The South Pole: The sun will rise in every direction at the South Pole during the winter months.
