What would happen if the sun rotated east to west?
Nothing much. The rising and setting of the Sun appears to happen because the EARTH is rotating, and we don't really notice much about the SUN spinning. It does, of course, and astronomers track sunspots across the face of the Sun as it spins (when there are sunspots, which there mostly haven't been in the last 3 years or so).
