In which direction does the sun move?

Answer 1

The equator stays right where it is and does not travel at all. Land masses might move underneath and the atmosphere moves above but the equator is stationary (on the spinning Earth or planet in question).

Answer 2

The Sun mostly doesn't go anywhere; it slowly orbits the galactic center, taking about 200 million years to complete one orbit.

The Earth travels in an elliptical path (almost circular, but very slightly oval-shaped) around the Sun. The Earth also spins like a top on its axis. Because the axis of the Earth's rotation is 23.5 degrees off the plane of the Earth's orbit, the Sun _seems_ to move south and north of the equator. And all over the earth, regardless of hemisphere, the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

If you are south of the Tropic of Capricorn (23,5 S) and face the noonday Sun the Sun appears to move from right to left. North of the Tropic of Cancer (23,5 N) if you face the noonday sun the Sun appears to move from left to right.

Answer 3

It is the Earth that rotates on its axis, giving us our day (light) and night (dark) as the sunlight moves across the face of the Earth. The Earth orbits round the Sun. The Earth rotates (spins) counter-clockwise, which causes the Sun to appear to rise in the East and sets in the West.

Answer 4

If you look from the north, the Sun rotates counterclockwise - about once every 28-35 days (it varies, depending on the latitude). That's the same direction in which the planets orbit the Sun.

Answer 5

In the northern hemisphere ,east to west .In the southern hemisphere ,west to east.

Answer 6

The equator goes East/West around the widest part of the earth. It is a great circle and has a latitude of 0.

Answer 7

From the Equator, you can head south toward the South Pole.

Answer 8

The sun appears to move across the sky from east to west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This movement is from the perspective of an observer on Earth.
