"Why Does the Sun Set in the West? It’s Science."

The sun doesn't actually set in the west and rise in the east. It only appears to as a result of the earth spinning on its axis. The sun basically stays put. :)

Sir, do you really think the majority of Freepers are ignorant and that they need your science lesson? And the sun doesn't stay put, it rotates around the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.

Unless you are an afficiando of the Morley-Michelson experiments as proof that the Earth does not move, in which case the sun rotates around us ala Ptolemy.

That is also an illusion based on our perspective. Our sun is moving quite rapidly. Nothing in this universe stays put.
