The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east.
For a moment, let us ignore Earth's orbit around the Sun (as well as the Sun's and solar system's revolution around the center of the Galaxy, and even the Galaxy's journey through the Universe). For the moment, let us just think about one motion - - Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis.
Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky. Suppose you are facing east - the planet carries you eastward as it turns, so whatever lies beyond that eastern horizon eventually comes up over the horizon and you see it!

Because the earth spins towards the left, and the sun rises in the east for the world. If the earth spun the other way around,
It would be rising in the west and setting in the east.

It is because earth spins from west to east. When the bright morning rays reach upon our eyes, we feel as if the sun rises, instead of the earth spinning around it.

Well, the Earth spins on its axis, each time it spins, it makes a revolution and the earth spins in 1 direction;counter- clockwise making the sun,rise. The First place the sun hits in the continental U.S. is Maine

The sun doesn't rise. The earth turns relative to it. If you are above the North Pole looking at our planet, it is rotating counterclockwise. That means that eastern places pass by the sun before western places.
