Orientation of sunrise

Answer 1

East, more or less. Depending on the date and your latitude, the exact direction may be somewhat north or south of due east, but the Sun (and Moon, and stars, and planets) all rise in "the east" and set in "the west".

The reason is that the Earth is actually spinning like a carousel, from west to east. The Sun, planets and stars aren't actually MOVING, and even the Moon doesn't move all that quickly.

Answer 2

The Sun always rises in the east; at least, sort of east.

Depending on the date and depending on our latitude, the Sun may rise a little (or a lot!) north or south of due east.

For example, if you live in Canada and it's June, the sun rises in the northeast, and sets in the northwest. If you live in Iceland and it's June, the Sun rises just a little east of north, and sets 23 hours later just a little west of north, having made an enormous circle in the sky.

I once made a trip to northern Norway in May. I asked the guide "When does the Sun go down", she said "October". If you are north of the Arctic circle, the Sun is up all night until the fall, and when the sun goes down in November, it doesn't come back up until spring.

Answer 3

The sun, on earth, rises in the east. Depending on your latitude it may be south or north of due east.

Answer 4

The direction of the sunrise is east, because the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, due to the Earth turning on it's axis.

Answer 5

East. A little north of east in the spring and summer, and a little south of east in the fall and winter, but mostly east.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
