Depending on the season, the Sun rises in the East (or southeast in winter or northeast in summer), travels across the sky reaching its highest elevation directly south of the observer, and sets in the west (or southwest or northwest, depending on the season).

What direction of the Earth does the sun rise on?
In general the sun appears to rise from an easterly diection. Obviously because of the tilt of the Earth the exact direction appears slightly different everyday of the year and the location at which the person stands on the Earth. On two days of the year, the Equinoxes, the sun appears to rise in the East and set on the West for everybody.
Where in the universe is red shift observed?
The short answer to this question is "everywhere". Redshift is one aspect of the Doppler effect of light. An observer, looking at an object that emits light, will see the apparent wavelength of that light either compressed to shorter values (if the object is moving toward the observer) or stretched to longer values (if the object is moving away from the observer). Since red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, a stretched wavelength is referred to as a "redshift". It turns out that all of the galaxies in the Universe are moving away from our galaxy, save for a few that are gravitationally bound together into the Local Group of galaxies to which the Milky Way belongs. Therefore, in every direction you look, the sky is full of redshifted galaxies. Within our galaxy, stars have random motions in addition to their general orbits around the galactic center. Some of those motions result in blueshift, some in redshift. So you can find blueshifted stars in every direction you look. But the stars are very local, distance-wise, compared with the redshifted galaxies.
When a planet is farthest from the sun what is the speed of it's orbit?
The exact number depends on the individual planet, and the exact shape and eccentricity of its orbit. The one general statement that can be made for every planet is that when it's farthest from the sun, it's moving at the slowest speed relative to the sun of any point in its entire orbit.
Why is the moon orange and so low than other nights when it is white and overhead of us?
Well, for one thing, the moon revolves around the earth, this is why it rises and sets like the sun. When it is low in the sky, the sunlight being reflected off the moon is passing through the atmoshere at a lower angle, and the dust particles reflect an orangish-hue. Once the moon rises, the light becomes less reflected, and the moon appears much whiter. The same general thing happens with the sun, which is why it frequently appears reddish-orange as it sets.

A general statement that is considered true and covers a broad range of knowledge is too general. This type of statement tends to be less useful than one that is specific.
What is the difference between inductive and deductive approaches to research?
Inductive research involves collecting data, identifying patterns, and developing theories based on those patterns, while deductive research starts with a hypothesis and uses data to test and confirm or reject that hypothesis. Inductive research is exploratory and generates new theories, while deductive research is confirmatory, testing existing theories.
