The rising and setting of the sun is called an "apparent" motion, not a proper or true motion of the sun. The sun isn't doing anything special as far as rising or setting from a planet's point of view. The apparent motion comes entirely from the rotation of the planets on their axes (poles). The earth rotates (spins) on its axis (the line through the earth containing the north and south poles-- they are really part of one single line. As the earth turns from west to east, the sun and stars appear to move across the sky. Because the earth is moving toward the east, when the sun does come into view (sunrise) it comes into view at the eastern horizon.
What else can I help you with?
Where the Earth's Moon rises from?
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.
Sun sets in east or west?
The sun sets in the west.
Moon raise and sets east to west?
The moon rises in the east and sets in the west due to the Earth's rotation from west to east. As the Earth rotates, the moon appears to move across the sky from east to west, mirroring the apparent movement of the sun. This east to west motion is an effect of the Earth's rotation and the moon's orbit around the Earth.
Does the sun rises from the east or the south?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It does not rise from the south.
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Viewing from their north poles all planets rotates from west to eat (clockwise). Except the planets Venus and Uranus. The rotational acceleration(speed) varies from planets to planet

What rises in the east sets in the west but is not the sun or moon?

the east it comes up in the east and sets in the west, happy now?
What side does the sun set?

Which side does the sun set?
it rises on the east and sets on the west but it depends where you live it mostly rises on the east
Why does the sun sets in the east in Venus?
The sun "sets" in the east on Venus because Venus rotates east to west (retrograde rotation), unlike most planets. Some people think some think a large object collided with Venus and caused it to switch the way it rotated.
