The position on the horizon at which the sun rises (and sets) changes with the latitude and the seasons. At high latitudes (Northern Sweden for example) the Sun during summer just dips behind the horizon in the north if it goes down at all!

Yes, the direction that the sun rises and sets can change based on both latitude and season. At higher latitudes, the sun may rise and set more towards the north during some parts of the year and more towards the south during other times. This is due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis, which creates different angles of sunlight at different times of the year.
