Question

You know that the sun rises in the east every morning and sets in the west every evening.

What is it that causes this to happen?
A The rotation of the sun on its axis.
B The rotation of the earth on its axis.
C The rotation of the earth around the sun.

Answer 1

B — the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

The Earth spins eastward once about every 24 hours, so the Sun appears to move across the sky from east to west each day.
