Yes and no.
The Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, due to the rotation of the Earth from west to east.
But technically, the Sun moves from West to East along the ecliptic, the path that the Sun traces out in the sky over the course of one year.

∙ 12y agoThe objects in orbit around the sun are orbiting it at different rates, depending on the distance from the sun. Close to the sun, Mercury orbits the sun once every 88 days. Further out, the objects take longer and longer, moving more slowly and having to travel longer distances. Some dwarf planets far from the sun take hundreds of years to orbit the sun once.
