had been mentioned in history that the sun arose from west instead of east if yes in what year and reference?

Answer 1

Herodotus was a pretty uncritical writer. He recorded lots of stories just the way he heard them, apparently, so there are lots of silly things, including the idea that the sun could rise in the west. I hope it is needless to say that this definitely never happened.

Answer 2

This is quite commonly described in various apocalyptic stories. Pretty much every culture has a tale of a great cataclysm in the distant past, and they show great similarities, for example they often involve a great flood, fire in the skies, and the sun moving from west to east. They also often say that the same thing will happen again at some point in the future. Writers such as Graham Hancock are of the opinion that these stories are all describing the same event, and that there has been a series of cataclysms of this kind throughout history. For details and references his books are probably a good place to start, but there are others who've written on the same subject: Colin Wilson, for example. Such authors have come under some pretty heavy criticism, but the only thing to do is to read them and their critics and make your own mind up.

Answer 3

This is nonsense. It hasn't happened. This, and the stopping of the sun or moon in the sky, have at times been described in ancient texts and are an obvious device for making something seem supernatural -- precisely because such things have never been seen by anyone. And the silly foolishness that some people offered as explanations here are every bit as ridiculous as believing that the earth sometimes reverses its spin. It doesn't.

The first fool apparently fails to understand that "retrograde" planetary motion is APPARENT motion -- viz., how the object appears to move against the sky from an observer on earth. Naturally, due to the varying orbits and orbit velocities of the planets, every planet at times APPEARS to move backwards (and a little to the side) from its regular progression through the skies. They do not literally stop in empty space and start going the other direction. That is one of the stupidest things I had ever heard ...

... until I got to the moron who thinks that the planet's spin is what causes gravity. (Wouldn't the spinning actually fling everyone off?) Gravity is "caused" by the presence of mass in time-space, as best we understand gravity at this point. (Nods to Einstein, a wave to Newton.) Your question was actually so silly that it attracted, not just one, but two of the stupidest people on the planet to offer their nitwitted responses. Congratulations, I guess.

Answer 4

Hasn't happened yet on Earth but has on Mars. Likely to happen to earth in the future.

Please read, very interesting article

The science of astronomy states that the speed of planet Mars has been
decreasing in its course toward the eastern direction in the few past weeks
to the level we notice the "waver" between the east and the west..and on
30th of July the planet movement stopped going toward the eastern direct..

Then in the months of August and September...Mars changed its course in the
opposite direction to the West- and that until the end of September..which
means the sun will rise now from the west on Mars!!

And this weird phenomena of the opposite movement called "Retrograde
Motion" Most scientist state that all the planets will go through the same
once at least and our planet Earth is one of them. Planet Earth will move
in the opposite direction some day and the sun will rise from the west!!

Answer 5

You better hope it doesn't because the earth's rotation is what creates gravity. It stops spinning and we are all going to be floating around somewhere in the void. Earth will become a dead planet as all the water and atmosphere will also shoot off into space.

Laughing here. Yes, Bored Bookworm, you have found me out. There are times I just have to put up an answer as stupid as the question. It doesn't happen very often but when it does I give some thought to what I'm going to say. Usually, I just ignore the question, shake my head slowly, and go on to something more intelligent. I just couldn't resist this time.
Gee, you ruined it for me, but that's all right. I can find another question that I can "play" with.
I gave you a "thumb up" anyway.
Congratulations - for sure. (laughing still)

Answer 6

yes, in the holy Qura'an
that was 1427 yeas ago,
it was said when the sun raises from the west, it is one of the big signs of the last day of this life and universe

Answer 7

about the gravity bit its on the moon but that does not spin on it'd axis no the earth sun does not rise in the west ever so it cannot stop spinning but the magnetic field reverses periodically

Answer 8

Herodotos mentions that this has happened more than once, but no date is given.

Answer 9

This is impossible
