In which direction does the sun set?
east?
No. The sun sets in the west.

Take a look at the sunset tonight.
is that why the eastern side gets dark earlier?
Yes.

You can see this if you shine a flashlight on a ball in a dark room. Slowly turn the ball so that part of the ball is in the dark and part is in the light.
