Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.
Well, let's see. Starting at North and proceeding clockwise from there,you've got your-- north by east-- north-northeast-- northeast by north-- northeast-- northeast by east-- east-northeast-- east by north-- EAST-- east by south-- east-southeast-- southeast by east-- southeast-- southeast by south-- south-southeast-- south by east-- SOUTH-- south by west-- south-southwest-- southwest by south-- southwest-- southwest by west-- west-southwest-- west by south-- WEST-- west by north-- west-northwest-- northwest by west-- northwest-- northwest by north-- north-northwest, and-- north by west
Earth rotates toward the east, so all stars appear to rise in the east.
