Question

Sun appears to move from east to west around the earth. This means that the earth rotates from

• A. east to west
• B. west to east
• C. north to south
• D. west to north

Answer 1

The correct option is B

west to east

Explanation for correct answer

1. The earth rotates around its own axis in an anti-clockwise direction that is from west to east
2. Since the rotation of the earth in the direction from west to east, the moon, the sun, and other celestial bodies appear to move from east to west
3. This is the reason for which we can say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west

So the sun appears to move from east to west around the earth which means the earth is rotating from west to east.

Hence, option B is correct.
