Depending on where you are on Earth and what time of year it is, the sun might not rise exactly due east or set exactly due west. Because the Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits our sun, the exact rising and setting points differ throughout the year. The sun will rise exactly due east and set exactly due west on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

Well, for us it should. But not for Venus and Uranus. since they move retorgrade.

The sun there rises at the west and sets in east.

So...for this matter...it should be considered for planet earth, mars, mecury, jupiter, saturn, neptune and (dwarf planets).

Isn't it cool? How it rises in the west and sets in the east for some planets and rises in the east and sets in the west for some planets??
