This is incorrect. The earth is what moves, causing the appearance of the sun moving.
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
The planet will still rise in the east and set in the west. The "retrograde" motion is relative the stars, and to its previous position; you won't see it move moment to moment, but night after night, you can see that it normally creeps one way across the sky, but for a couple of weeks near the conjunction, it will seem to creep the other way across the sky before going back to its normal direction.
Does the moon rise in the east?
The sun actually doesn't move. The earth is spinning on an axis and this rotation gives the impression of the sun moving across the sky. Its the earths spin that moves, in the northern hemisphere in an anticlockwise direction
The reason it is said that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west is that it doesn't actually rise or set. From our vantage point, it appears that the sun is moving across the sky when in reality, it is the rotation of our own planet that causes the transition from night to day and so on.
Celestial objects such as the sun appear to rise in the east and set to the west.
i think so...
no u idiot it rises up ur a** and sets in ur momma's a**
East It moves from East to west across the sky

Because the Earth rotates. Stars will "rise" in the east and "set" in the west, just like the sun.
The planet will still rise in the east and set in the west. The "retrograde" motion is relative the stars, and to its previous position; you won't see it move moment to moment, but night after night, you can see that it normally creeps one way across the sky, but for a couple of weeks near the conjunction, it will seem to creep the other way across the sky before going back to its normal direction.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is due to the Earth's rotation from west to east, which creates the perception of the sun moving across the sky daily.
In that case, they will move up. They rise, as Earth rotates eastward.
They rise in the western mountains and flow east across the North China plain to the Pacific Ocean.
Does the moon rise in the east?
because of earths rotation, the sun does not move but earth rotates
