The rotation of the Earth on its axis makes the sun appear to rise in the east and set in the west. This daily motion creates the illusion of the sun moving across the sky.
The rising and setting of the sun is an example of cyclic predictable changes due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This motion causes the sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west every day.
A tornado may appear pink if it is lit up by the setting or rising sun. Note that you are far more likely to see a tornado at sunset than at sunrise.
The rising and setting of the sun is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the sun's light, creating the appearance of the sun moving across the sky. The changing angle of sunlight creates the illusion of the sun rising and setting.
The rising and setting of the sun and moon are controlled by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet receive sunlight, creating day and night. The moon's rising and setting is also influenced by its orbit around the Earth.
