if we get the sun from the east, why do we get our weather from the West?

Answer 1

From USA Today:

"Q: Why does most of our weather come from the west if the Earth is rotating the opposite way?

A: When looking down at the North Pole, the Earth spins counterclockwise around its axis. A point on the equator travels at about 1,100 mph, while a point directly at the poles does not move at all. An apparent force called the Coriolis force results from this difference in speeds, deflecting objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis force, combined with solar heating patterns across the Earth, create distinctive wind patterns that drive weather systems.

One prevailing surface wind pattern that results is located in the mid-latitudes, between 30 and 60° North. Solar heating alone, without the Earth's rotation, would produce prevailing southerly winds. The Coriolis force, however, deflects these winds to the right, creating prevailing winds out of the west and southwest (the westerlies).

Solar heating patterns in the tropics, from the equator to about 30° North, combined with the Coriolis force, produce weak prevailing winds out of the east (the easterlies). Southern regions of the USA, including Florida, are affected by the westerlies at times and the easterlies at others."

Answer 2

Because of the turning of the earth, the sun appears to rise in theEast and set in the West. We do not get it from the East. You are correct for mot locations, that the weather seems to come from the West. We see weather fronts on the TV map move across from the West. Where I live we get Noreasters which come from theSouth East, from the ocean.Hurricanes move from the East until they hit land and then move North. Some cold weather comes South from Canada.Many things effect the movement of weather.

Answer 3

The planet rotates the opposite way than what the sun appears

Answer 4

what weather??
do you mean wind, rain, storms and stuff like that..
they come from every where
