Question

3. The moon and sun both rise in the east and set

Answer 1

Answer:

I would explain it based on the direction of earth's rotation.

Explanation:

To start with, earth rotation or the rotation of the earth is a term that describes the spinning of the earth around its own axis. This spinning takes place in a particular direction or pattern which is eastward (from west to east).

In other words, the earth rotates from west to east. As such, we observe that the moon, sun, planets and stars all rise or appear in the east and journey westward across the sky.

Suppose you are standing facing the east as the earth rotates, it carries you eastward and you would get to see what lies beyond the eastern horizon rising as the earth rotates.
