In what direction do galaxies rise?
The appearance of things "rising" and "setting" in the sky is caused by the Earth's 24-hour rotation. Everything "rises" in the East.
What causes the apparent rising and setting of the moon?
The moon rotates around the earth, and as it does so, our view of it makes it appear to 'rise' and 'set,' though really it's just spinning around us.
Does the earths revolution around the sun causes the sun to rise in the east and set in the west everyday?
No, the Earth's revolution around the sun is not related to the rising and setting of the sun on a daily basis, which is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis.
How do planets effect if the sun sets in the east or west?
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.
The spinning of Earth on its axis causes the apparent rising and setting of the?
. . . every natural object that you can see in the sky. Unless you're standing at the north or south pole. Then everything just goes around and around, parallel to the horizon, but never rises or sets.
Caused by the rotation of the Earth?
-- day and night -- rotation of atmospheric pressure systems -- rotation of the plane of Foucault's pendulum -- rotation of ocean eddies and currents -- apparent rising and setting of sky objects
Why is the sun called the apparent path?
When we view the rising and setting of the sun, we assume the viewpoint of a motionless Earth, but we know that the Earth is actually rotating on its axis, and the sun does not orbit the Earth.

How can you prove the earth's revolution?
The rising and setting of the sun.
What causes the apparent rising and setting of the moon?
The moon rotates around the earth, and as it does so, our view of it makes it appear to 'rise' and 'set,' though really it's just spinning around us.
Why do Moon rising and setting times change and why does it stay out all night on some days?
well to be specific it is caused be the consistant rotation and revolving of the earth an sun.
The apparent path of the stars over the course of a single night is caused by?
It is caused by the earth's rotation.
What is the apparent force on the wind that is caused by the spin of the earth?
coriolis force
What do we say when the sun goes down over the horizon?
We say that it is 'setting,' but this is apparent motion, and not true motion. The same is true for the rising and setting of the moon and fixed stars. There is another spectacular example of apparent motion that is different from true motion. Because the moon 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west, it is easy to think that it is "moving" from east to west. In fact, the moon's orbit around the earth is from west to east. The slow (monthly) orbit of the moon along with the 24-hour rotation of the earth give us the impression of the moon's apparent motion.
Why does the Sun rise and fall?
The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.
