  • Why Does the Sun Rise in the East? Understanding Earth's Rotation
    The sun doesn't actually move in the sky. It's the Earth that rotates, making it appear as if the sun is moving.

    In the morning, the sun appears in the east. This is because as the Earth rotates eastward, the eastern horizon faces the sun first.

    Here's a helpful way to remember:

    * East = Early morning sun

    * West = Western sunset
