For the purpose of this question we can assume the Sun to be stationary (it actually isn't) but due to the Earth's rotation it appears in our sky that the sun is moving.

It is one of those instances where it is easier to think of it that way.

Why does sun rises from the east?

The sun rises in the east due to the stationary position of the sun, and the relative position of the Earth. If the Earth's axis is considered up, then, when looking down at the North Pole, the Earth is spinning counter-clockwise.


Where does the sun rises and sets?

The sun rises from the east and sets in the west.

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.


What weather front would flooding be associated with?

Flooding is typically associated with stationary fronts or warm fronts. Stationary fronts occur when a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall, causing prolonged periods of precipitation. Warm fronts bring warm, moist air that rises and condenses, leading to heavy rainfall and potential flooding.


What kind of weather is in a stationary front?

A stationary front is when warm and cold air masses meet but neither advances. Weather along a stationary front can include prolonged periods of rain, as warm air rises over the cool air and forms clouds. Temperature and precipitation can vary along the front, leading to a mix of weather conditions.


Is a mountain a liquid?

No, a mountain is not a liquid. It is a large mass of solid rock and soil that rises high above the surrounding landscape. Liquids flow and take the shape of their container, while mountains are stationary and maintain their shape over time.


Which is so obvious that need not be proved?

One example of something that is so obvious it need not be proved is that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is a universally observed phenomenon and is a result of the Earth's rotation.


What are the four major types of front?

The four major types of fronts are cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts. Cold fronts occur when cold air displaces warm air, while warm fronts happen when warm air rises over cold air. Stationary fronts form when neither air mass is strong enough to replace the other, and occluded fronts develop when a cold front overtakes a warm front.


What weather front is created when a warm air mass rises slowly above a cold air mass creating a steady slope?

A stationary front is created when a warm air mass rises slowly above a cold air mass, creating a steady slope. This can lead to prolonged periods of cloudy and rainy weather as the two air masses interact.


What develops when a cold air mass and a warm air mass collide and neither of the air masses move?

Another has properly said - A Stationary Front. Adding that, when movement recommences the cold Air Mass will invariably subside below and then underneath the warm Air Mass. A good and easy lesson on the causes of Rainfall is that wherever Air rises Clouds form - Air rises, it expands, it cools and can no longer hold as much Water Vapor - and it Rains.
