Let me know what your compass says.
It just seems obvious to me.

It’s cloudy here now.
I’m at 41deg N and 89deg W
You can check that it’s cloudy here.
The Sun at my location, and at every location, rises due East, and sets due West, these figures are for today, 24 hrs aren’t gonna matter that much.
The Sun’s height in the sky was approximately 49deg due South at it’s heighest point (Mid day).
At 0deg, 89deg West Latitude, the Sun Rises due East, rises to 90deg over the horizon, and sets due West.
At 41deg S Latitude and 89deg W Longitude, the Sun rises Due East.
AtLocal Noon, it’s heighest point is approx. 46deg Due North.
It sets Due West.
I used a very tried and true astronomy app, Sky Safari Pro, which I have made use of for a number of years, now, to simulate the local sky at those locations.

The Sun rises Due East and sets Due West. The difference is that in the winter, the days are shorter because the Sun is lower in the sky. As the Earth moves around the Sun, the seasons change, the days get longer because the Sun is heighest.
I don’t mean to insult you, because I’m sure you know some of this stuff.
Once again, I thank you for your service. Not only do I respect you for it , but I really do admire you for it.
But I am done with this.
