Why people call sun rises in the east. i can say it may be wrong because earth rises in the east not eh sun?

Question

i may think sun is a stationary planet, but earth is dynamic planet.

Answer 1

The statement 'the sun rises in the east' is just useful to help you navigate around our planet. It relies on a single perspective and so is not a very object view. But your statement isn't much better.

1) Our sun is not stationary. Its rotating around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

2)  The sun is not a planet. Its a star.

3) the Earth doesn't rise in the east. It rotates on its axis creating the illusion of the suns movement.

4) Dynamic means changing or having energy. Both the sun and the earth are dynamic is many ways. The sun is extreemly dynamic. Look at sun spots or solar flares. The earth has tides and earth quakes and inertia from its movement thru space. So both are dynamic

Answer 2

The sun is a star NOT a planet. And the sun isn't as stationary as you think. It does move around in tiny circles because the planets pull on it.

Answer 3

We live on earth, so having an earthcentric view is just easier.

Anyway - from our perspective the sun rise above the horizon and sets below the horizon and this is how we define sun rise and sun set.

Incidentally - it doesn;t always rise directly in the east - it only does that twice a year

Answer 4

u can say anyting as long as v live in so called democr...

any way u hit stone on glass or glass on stone, result gonna b d same

Answer 5

It depend on the view point of the observer.

the earth rotates on its axis from west to east.  Therefore, the sun APPEARS to rise in the east and set in the west.

You could NOT say that the "earth rises in the east" so long as you are still on the earth, becasue it would APPEAR that the eath is not moving.

However, there IS a "earthrise" on the moon.  It happens once every 28 days -- which is the rotation period of the Moon.

Any other description of sunrise or earth rise is incorrect.

BTW -- the sun is not a planet.

Answer 6

I know what you are saying.  The sun is a star and doesn't move, but if you look at the horizon, it appears that the sun is rising but it is actually not.  The earth doesn't rise if the sun is rising.  If it appears that the sun is rising, then the earth is rotating at the opposite direction, so the earth would be lowering.  It would be a little weird calling it a "earth lowering" instead of a "sun rise."

Answer 7

U may say what ever u want. but for earth sun rises in the east. and sets in west. that seems as it  is ,that is because of the earth's rotational movement.

Answer 8

In the frame of reference of standing on the Earth, the Sun seems to rise.  In the frame of reference of the Sun, the Earth seems to rotate.  In the frame of reference of the Local Group of Galaxies, the whole solar system orbits around the Milky Way.  In the frame of reference of the visible Universe, the Local group is moving towards the Great Attractor, whatever that it is.

One of the problems is that standing on the Earth is not an inertial reference, even though it feels like it, and for very small experiments, it's close enough.

If there's a real stationary frame of reference, it's with respect to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.

Answer 9

yup u are correct buddy but ita common thing that is followed, that is seen from our eyes..for eample when you grow up..your clothe don't fit on you..waht do you say?? My clothes became smaller..isn't it?? actually you grew..its the same case

Answer 10

hello Mr Einstein.. you on earth... so.. what you see is the sun rising above your head and then setting down..
