Sunrise is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sunappears above the horizon in the east. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins.

Why do you say that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west?

The reason it is said that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west is that it doesn't actually rise or set. From our vantage point, it appears that the sun is moving across the sky when in reality, it is the rotation of our own planet that causes the transition from night to day and so on.

To a person located at 43 degrees north latitude the sun appears to rise east due to?

The sun appears to rise in the east for someone at 43 degrees north latitude due to the Earth's axial tilt and rotation. This tilt causes the sun to appear to move from east to west across the sky, with the east being the direction where it rises. The angle of the tilt also affects the path the sun takes in the sky based on an observer's latitude.


Why does Phobos rise in the West and set in the East?

If you observe our moon, over the course of a night it appears to rise in the east and set in the west. However if you observe it over the course of a month you will see that each night it will be further toward the east. You will see that the moon is actually traveling from west to east around the earth. It only appears to rise in the east and set in the west just as the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. The sun actually isn't moving and the moon as well isn't moving in the direction it appears to be. It takes a month though to go around the earth from west to east. It does it so slowly that each night it doesn't seem to move except in the direction opposite to the earths rotation. Phobos travels west to east also. However it orbits Mars in only 7 hours. So Phobos appears to move in the direction it actually is moving. Thus appears to be doing exactly what it is doing: rising in the west and setting in the east.


Why does the sun rise in the east and set in th west?

The Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of Earth on its axis from west to east. As Earth spins, different parts of the planet receive sunlight, causing the Sun to appear to move across the sky. This motion gives the illusion of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
