  • Earth's Rotation: Understanding West to East Spin & Sunrise/Sunset
    The Earth spins on its axis from west to east. This is why the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

    It's important to note that this is a relative motion. The Earth itself isn't actually moving westward, but the direction of rotation makes it appear that way from our perspective on the surface.
