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.

Does the sun rise in the east or the?

The sun always rises in the East and sets in the West. Depending on the season, it may rise more or less north or south of east, and set more or less north or south of west, but there's always at least a fair component of "east" in the rising, and "west" in the setting. Regardless of whether you are in the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The difference between the hemispheres, however, is that in the Northern, the sun travels across the southern sky, whereas in the south, the sun travels across the northern sky. In true point of fact, the Sun doesn't really "rise" anywhere; the Sun fundamentally remains in the middle of the solar system. The Sun APPEARS to rise, because the Earth is spinning; the Sun (and Moon, and stars, and everything else) seem to rise in the East, because the Earth is spinning from west to east. The Earth spins west-to-east once every 24 hours.

When you go for a walk in the evening you can see the setting sun.which direction are walking in?

Basically, the Sun rises in the East, and sets in the West, so you would be walking towards the West. But, the arc is longer in Summer, so the Sun may rise in the North-east, pass to the South at noon, and set in the North-west, so the Sun takes longer to rise and set. It is during the shorter days of Winter that the Sun makes the shortest arc of South-east to South-west as viewed in the Northern Hemisphere.
