Northern hemisphere what direction does the sun rise?

The sun rises in the east, same as in the northern hemisphere. The sun rising is a function of the planet's rotation, which is the same universally. The difference in seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres is a function of the Earth's tilt, and the changes in what areas face the sun more strongly depending on what point the Earth is in it's orbit around the sun.

Which way should you face a solar house and why?

Southern hemisphere You can face a house any way, but , it is better if you have the living room and rooms that you spend most of your time in facing NORTH. Bedrooms should not face north, as the heat you get from the north only is during the day, making it useless when you are in bed at night. Why? In summer, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it goes directly overhead during the day. In winter, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, but because of the tilt of the earth, during the day the swings to the north, which means the sunlight comes from the north. Northern Hemisphere I dont live in the northern hemispere, but i assume it is all the opposite, the living room facing south and so on. - written by a 12 yr old girl after doing a project on solar housing


Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?

While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.

As you face east the north pole is on your?

Rpgz answered: on your left. As long as your compass is working and your not at the north pole (execlty on the point). North, East, South and West are all determind by the dirction you are looking and how that compares to the 8 answers. So if you stood facing east then this diagram may be of help: North /\ East > And so it could only be your left and not your right. And so if the answer was 'right' then there would have to be something wrong with the terminology of the quesiton. ID1677134368 answered: When you face east, thw north pole would be on your right.

Why are Hindus faced towards the East when they die?

Does the sun rise west or south?

To your right. That is correct, but how did you reason that out? Think of the compass. If you stand facing north, then east would be on your right and west would be on your left and you would be facing away from south. So, turn east toward the rising sun, now south is on your right, north is to your left and you are facing away from west. Same works for the setting sun (in the west). Face the setting sun, now north is on your right. Sounds complicated. The way I remember it is to put my right hand toward the rising sun. That way I am facing north--every time. Check it out with a compass.
