“I repeat:
The sun NEVER sets in the due west,
unless you live in the tropics.”
You are wrong.
This is very easy to prove or disprove.
No need to search the internet or even think about it.
Go outside tonight at sunset with a compass.
If you don’t have a compass, there is probably
one built-in on your cell phone.
If you live north of the Tropic of Cancer,
(the entire USA except for Hawaii),
the sun is always, always, always towards the south.
