CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -We see the sunrise and sunset because of Earth’s rotation about its own axis . Earth is rotating about its own axis from West to East. So, when seen from the Earth, the Sun appears to rise in the East and set in the West.

Detailed explanation-2: -We usually speak of the sun setting in the west, but technically it only sets due west at the spring and autumn equinoxes. For the rest of the year, the direction of sunset pivots about this westerly point, moving northerly in winter, and towards the south in summer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Actually, the Sun only rises due east and sets due west on 2 days of the year–the spring and fall equinoxes!

Detailed explanation-4: -No matter where you are on Earth (except for the North and South Poles), you have a due east and due west point on your horizon. That point marks the intersection of your horizon with the celestial equator, the imaginary great circle above the true equator of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Earth rotates in such a way that from any point on Earth, the Sun is seen to rise in an easterly direction, and travel west across the sky, setting in the west. The Earth spins on its axis and rotates from west to east the Sun appears to “rise” in the East and set in the West.
