"East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is a Norwegian fairy tale that originated in the 19th century. It was collected by the folklorists Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe and first published in their book "Norske Folkeeventyr" (Norwegian Folktales) in 1843. The story has since become popular worldwide and has been adapted in various forms, including literature and film.
East of the Sun - and West of the Moon - was created in 1935.
because the sun rises in the east
The side of the moon that is illuminated is always the side that is facing the sun. Whether you perceive that as facing east or west depends on the phase of the moon and the time of day that you observe it. If the moon is in its first quarter and you observe it in the evening, the side that faces west (toward the setting sun) is illuminated. If the moon is in its third quarter and you observe it in the morning, the side that faces east (toward the rising sun) is illuminated.
No, it is due to the rotation of the Earth.
Te west... It, as do the Sun and planets, rises in the East and sets in the West because of the rotation of the Earth.
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.
East of the sun and west of the moon is the distance between the moon and the sun at they journey through a day or through a night. In a sense it can mean our existence, our space or life's duration.
The moon rises in the east, just as the sun does. The east sees it first.

This is due to Earth's rotation. Earth rotates from west to east.

The Sun rises in the East. The following have capital letters: Planets(Mars, Venus etc.) Moon Sun Earth North South East West
East of the sun and west of the moon
The Moon has no east-west direction with respect to Earth. East-west describes the direction of, or opposite direction of a sphere that is rotating. (Like Earth.) As it turns out, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon, like full Moon, result from which direction the SUN is from the Moon and Earth.
Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.
