Yes, unless you are on the North pole where every direction you look is south. Thus, if you see the sun rise, see it during the day, or see it set, the sun is always south of you. (Same for the other pole where every direction from the South pole is north.)

Yes, unless you live very close to the north or south pole. Then you could get a few months where the sun is always up in the summer. During the winter, the sky can be without the sun for months. But for the majority of everyone, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

I think u r a kid and want confirmation of the answer u already know. Yes U R right. U stand facing the sun in the morning and it is the East side and your left hand points towards north and right hand towards south and in the afternoon sun goes to the west that is, sun will be behind you.
Sun does not move. It has a permanent place in the universe. Many planets revolve around the sun. Earth also turns on its axis and has longtitudes and lattitudes. If u study geography/science u will know that every 12 hours, different parts of the earth will have either light or night. I am trying to explain in very simple language so that u can understand.

Yes, the sun rises in the east, and it sets in the west, because of the direction the Earth spins.

The Sun doesn't do anything. The Earth rotates from West to East (at 1000mph) so it just looks like the Sun is rising and setting

i comprehend the respond yet explaining without white board is the undertaking. enable me attempt while the sunlight is in the horizon approximately to develop or set the rays emanating from the sunlight has to shuttle an prolonged distance by using the ambience before it reaches the floor of earth. on the different while the sunlight is rapidly above your head the atmospheric distance travelled is far less is one ingredient. the 2d ingredient is the floor of earth is perpendicular to the sunlight rays. So the warmth felt is greater. representation Draw 2 concentric circles one for earth and the bigger one for atmosphere. Now draw 2 lines. a million One vertical passing via the centre. 2 Tangential to the indoors circle(earth) and horizontal degree the area of the component of line between the two circles in the two cases. you will see the reason in the back of your self. enable me comprehend if i'm not sparkling everywhere you are able to virtually adventure it in international places like u . s . a . the place the sunlight is in horizon by using the day in winters.

Except in Viet Nam, where "The Green Berets" shows the Sun setting in the East.

Only if you live on planet Earth...

Neptune actually rotates on it's side so in the winter the sun would never rise and in the summer it would just spin around the sky in circles over and over... Ha ha weird huh?

Yes.
That has been true for many, many years.
And it will probably remain so for many years in the future.

However, the Earth's spin probably changes about every 50,000 years, so this may have bee different long ago. Some scientists believe that the Earth spun in the opposite direction, in fairly recent times (possibly as recently as 3200 years ago. (See Immanuel Velikofsky's "Worlds in Collision.)
