It would depend on your point of reference...On the other side of the earth from your point of view, it does go up and come down. because the earth only spins in one direction, it will not switch unless you change location to the other side of the world.

This answer does not agree with the one in the following link, and i am more convinced about the link's answer because it takes into account the fact that the sun does not rise or set in the exact POINTS in the east or west horizons from day to day in most parts of the world.

∙ 12y agoIt doesn't. The Sun just sits there in the center of the solar system. What APPEARS TO BE the Sun going up and down is caused by the Earth spinning like a carousel, and we're riding it. The Earth does the moving, not the Sun................. .The sun doesn't come up in the morning. Sun rotates it self from east to west. It does not go up and down. Consider u are in the earth standing then u are perpendicular to a line drawn on earth circumcentre. Think earth rotates on its axis it looks like the sun comes up for u.since the sun is round sphere any way we see looks round
