The sun rises in the east from the Tropic of Cancer, just like it does from any other location on Earth.

However, there's a slight nuance:

* On the summer solstice (around June 21st), the sun rises directly east from the Tropic of Cancer. This is because the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer on the summer solstice.

* On other days of the year, the sun will rise slightly north of east from the Tropic of Cancer. The further away from the summer solstice, the further north the sunrise will be.

So, while the direction of sunrise is generally east, its exact position can vary slightly depending on the time of year.
