Because the axis of the Earth's rotation is tilted by 23.5 degrees to the ecliptic (which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun), the Sun "appears to" rise north of the equator between March 21 and September 21, and south of the equator between September 21 and March 21. (These dates may vary a day or two either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)
If you lived at the equator, the Sun would appear to rise due east all the time. Since you do not live on the equator, the Sun appears to rise north of east in the (northern hemisphere) spring and summer, south of east during the fall and winter. Depending on your latitude, it can be many degrees north or south of east.
The position of sunrise along the eastern horizon changes throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth orbits the sun, the angle of the sunlight hitting different parts of the Earth changes, causing the Sun to rise at different points along the horizon. This phenomenon is responsible for the changing seasons.
It depends on the latitude, but it's generally a sinusoidal wave. The length of the day is greatest at the summer solstice, and shortest at the winter solstice.
Sunrise and sunset are considered as periodic changes because they occur every day in a cyclical pattern due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes the sun to appear above the horizon in the morning (sunrise) and then dip below the horizon in the evening (sunset, indicating the end of the day). This daily repetition makes sunrise and sunset a predictable and regular occurrence.
The sun appears to trek across the sky as the day progresses from sunrise to sunset. Also, the points along the horizon at which the sun rises and sets relative to a particular observation point shift a little north each day from the December solstice until the June solstice and shift a little south each day through the other half of the year.
The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the exact location. A difference of 15 miles can change the time of sunrise or sunset by a minute. Please re-post your question with a city name or zip code. You can easily calculate the time of sunrise or sunset by visiting the web site of the U.S. Naval Observatory at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php .
this is because of the change in season

Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. The changing sunrise and sunset times are influenced by the Earth's tilt, rotation, and position in its orbit, resulting in variations in the angle at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth throughout the year.
Movement is a change in position
Sunrise is the time at which the sun rises over the horizon and sunset is the time at which the sun sets below the horizon. It visually shows the change between the positions of the sun and earth.
The change in an objects position is called motion.
Motion is the change in an object's position.
Motion is continues change in position...
no its speed that definds the rate change of position
