The sun travels in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemispere, What way does it travel in the southern Hemisphere?

Rises in the East and sets in the West same as UK.
Living 10º 30' North of the equator, the sun can either be in the North or South at noon, depending on the time of year. It always rises in the East though, over the Pacific, but hides behind the Western mountains before disappearing altogether.

The same. The Earth spins on an axis in an anti clockwise movement while at the same time orbiting the Sun anti clock wise. Hence it always rises in the East and sets in the West in all countries because in meets the East side of countries first and seems to move to the west but its us that is moving not the Sun.

The sun doesn't travel - the earth does. No matter where you are in the world, the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west

The same as in Britain and everywhere else. Since the world moves in one direction it has to be the same for everybody. In the Southern Hemisphere you see different stars but that is the only difference I can think of.

They have the same North as we do, so it still rises in the East, but goes through North rather than South to west.

Actually, the earth has an axle running from pole to pole. It is split in half roughly at the equator. The southern hemisphere rotates east to west causing the sun to rise in the west and set int he east. Sure is tough and confusing on those poor folks near the equator. They never know where the sun will appear.

the Earth rotates once every 24 hours approx. ( making it seem that the sun is rising and setting ) .. from West to East ..

Still the same, rises in the east, sets in the west.
Take an orange and an apple and work it out for yourself.

Just the same, the only difference is that in Australia, the sunshine comes from the north, not the south.
