- Why does the Sun always rise in the East? - Physics Stack Exchange
The Sun does not rise, it is the horizon that goes down You say that Sun rises in the East (with a certain degree of oscillations due to the tilt of the axis) just because the Earth spins from West to East The revolution affects the difference between sidereal time and solar time, and makes the solar day ≈ 4 ≈ 4 minutes longer If the Earth spinned in the opposite direction the Sun would
