Question

1. explain why the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, even though it is not moving.

Explanation:

The Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west because the Earth rotates on its axis from west - to - east. From our perspective on Earth, it seems like the Sun is moving across the sky, but in reality, it is the Earth's rotation that causes this apparent motion. The Sun is relatively stationary in the center of our solar system.

Answer:

The Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's west - to - east rotation on its axis while the Sun is relatively stationary.
