Detailed explanation-1: -Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, and the Moon and the Sun (and all other celestial objects) appear to move from east to west across the sky. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary reason is that the spin of the earth is towards the direction in the east. The magnetic field of the earth makes it rotate in the direction of west to east.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth’s axis runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It takes Earth 24 hours to make one complete rotation around this invisible line. As Earth rotates, each area of its surface gets a turn to face and be warmed by the sun. This is important to all life on Earth.
