* Earth's Rotation: Our planet spins on its axis, completing one full rotation roughly every 24 hours. This rotation is what causes day and night.
* Sunlight and Shadow: As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet face the sun. The side facing the sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side is in darkness.
* Sunlight Scattering: The sun's rays are scattered by the Earth's atmosphere, making the sky appear bright during the day. This scattered light makes it difficult to see the sun directly, but we can still see its reflected light.
In short: The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west because of the Earth's rotation. We can see the sun only when our side of the Earth is facing it, which is during daytime.
