In which countries does the sun rise in the East?

Question

They say the sun rises in the East.East of where?

Answer 1

Directly in the East only in countries within the tropics. North of the tropics in a east south easterly direction and south of the tropics in a east north easterly direction. In the Arctic its more south east and in the Antarctica more north east.

Answer 2

The Sun rises in the East in all countries on Earth. This is because the Earth's rotation 'carries' its lands from West to East. The only exceptions to an Eastern rising are at the North & South Poles. Here East & West do not exist; only South & North respectively.

Answer 3

Sun rises in East in all countries.

Answer 4

I think you should take a little time to learn about the subject, you would then understand the answers given here, for at the moment the fact that the Sun rises in the east in all countries means nothing to you, does it?

Answer 5

It means the direction east, not east of anywhere.
The statement is not strictly true, anyway. In Britain, the sun rises north of true east in summer, south of true east in winter. So the statement is accurate only on 21 March and 21 September (the equinoxes).

Answer 6

East of wherever your standing. It's because of the rotation of the earth on it's axis. The sun will always rise in the east and set in the west.

Answer 7

The sun rises in the east at all locations on the planet due to the direction of our planets rotation. Perhaps the North and South poles are exceptions, though.

Answer 8

Every country. East is East.

Answer 9

East is not relative, east is defined by its direction so it doesn't need to by east of another place.

East is 90 degrees right of magnetic north and the direction the sun comes up.

Answer 10

All countries. And in each case, it will be to the east of where you are at the time.
