What is the direction of rotation of East and West?
East is in the clockwise direction of rotation from north. West is directly opposite east. The sun’s position in the sky can be used to determine east and west if the general time of day is known. In the morning, the sun rises roughly in the east and tracks upwards.
Why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?
When we say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west we have to understand the issue of the equinox. The sun only rises in the exact east and sets in the exact west two days of the year. Irrespective of where one is on the universe the sun will be seen to rise from the exact east and set in the exact west on March 21 and September 21.
What is the difference between West and east?
West is directly opposite east. The sun’s position in the sky can be used to determine east and west if the general time of day is known. In the morning, the sun rises roughly in the east and tracks upwards. In the evening it sets roughly in the west.
What direction does the sun rise in the morning?
The goal is to have students understand that east is a certain direction and the sun always rises in the east in the morning. Observe the sun again at end of the school day and ask students if it is in the same location as earlier in the morning.
