The sun is at each one at different times.

A:

The east coast borders the Atlantic Ocean, and is thus subject to Atlantic hurricanes. Weather systems moving from west to east over the colder land mass of North America often bring strong storms (and in the winter, snow). Coastal watchers can enjoy the sun rising over the sea. It is also much closer to Europe.

The west coast borders the Pacific Ocean, and thereby enjoys a climate that is both milder and wetter; it sees far more rain, but much less snow. Tides are generally higher, favoring activities such as surfing. Locals can enjoy (and many Hollywood movies show) the sun setting over the sea.
