It is because the earth rotates on its axis. In ancienct times philosophers believed the sun revolved around the earth but that was wrong. The earth actually rotates and so when it is rotating, about only 1/2 of the planet is facing the sun. The earth tilts on its axis and this makes summer and winter. When the northern side of the planet tilts towords the sun, then the days in the north are longer, and the night is shorter. Things are weird at the north and south pole; they have night for several months at a time, and daylight for several months at a time, depending on the earth's position in its orbit. Imagine what it would be like to have the sun in the sky for months without setting!
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.
Yes, the sun and moon rise and set every day due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This daily cycle results in the apparent movement of the sun and moon across the sky, causing them to rise in the east and set in the west.
The sun rise's in the East ans set's 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.
This is incorrect. The earth is what moves, causing the appearance of the sun moving.
Rise in the East and set in the West.

no and no

The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. This is due to the Earth's rotation from west to east.
yes...
The Sun doesn't really rise and set; the Sun sits there in the center of our solar system, unmoving. It is the Earth spinning - and us with it - that makes the Sun appear to rise in the East and set in the west.
Well, that's certainly what it LOOKS like - but in truth, the Sun doesn't rise or set. It is the Earth spinning once per day that makes the Sun _appear_ to rise and set.
The sun rise's in the East ans set's in the west.
Yes.
Yes. Of course
