The earth's rotation. Earth rotates east, so the sun 'rises' in the east. Then, when the earth has rotated to where the sun is exiting the angular range we can see it from, the sun "sets", and it becomes night. As far as we know, this occurs every day, but tomOreos, who knows?
What else can I help you with?
Why do the sun and moon rise?
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.
What explains the motion of the sun?
The Earth's rotation causes the Sun to rise in the east and set in the west every day.
Does the sun literally rise in the east and move across the sky and set in the west?
This is incorrect. The earth is what moves, causing the appearance of the sun moving.
Why do you say that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west?
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.
Why does the sun appear at east to west?
The sun appears to move from east to west in the sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes the sun to rise in the east and set in the west as the Earth moves in its orbit around the sun.
Describes a backward rotation which causes the sun to rise in the west and set in the east?
The word you're looking for is "retrograde".
Where does the sun appear to rise then to set?
Rise in the East and set in the West.
What is the planet on which the sun does not rise and set?
All planets that rotate in our solar system will see apparent sun rise and sun set There are no planets that are stationary not to view the apparent sun rise and sun set.
When sun set time is same why sun rise time is different?
Because the orbit of the sun is some what curved and elliptical so it causes variation in timings of sunrise and sunset.
Does the revolution of the sun causes the sun to appear to set?
The rotation of the earth is what causes the sun to appear to set
Does the earth set and does the sun rise?
no and no
What motion of the earth causes the sun to rise and set and how long is this movement?
The Earth rotates about its axis, causing the sun to rise and set. A full rotation happens every 23.934 hours. (Which is close to 24 hours, which is why a full day-night cycle is about 24 hours long.)
