Where does the sun appaer to rise in and appears to set in?
The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. This is due to the Earth's rotation from west to east.
When sun set time is same why sun rise time is different?
Because the orbit of the sun is some what curved and elliptical so it causes variation in timings of sunrise and sunset.
Do stars rise at different places on the horizon over the year?
Yes, stars appear to rise and set at different positions on the horizon over the course of the year due to the rotation and tilt of the Earth. This is a result of the changing orientation of the observer relative to the stars as the Earth orbits the Sun.
What ways does mercury move?
It moves around the sun in the same direction as the other planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above). It rotates the same way earth does, from west to east (on the surface, the sun would rise in the east and set in the west).
Why do stars and constellations also appear to rise and set?
Stars and constellations appear to rise and set due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars and constellations come into view or move out of view from a specific location on Earth, giving the illusion of them rising and setting.
Why does the moon rise and set where it does?
The moon rises and sets due to the Earth's rotation. The moon's position in the sky is also influenced by its orbit around the Earth. The moon rises in the east and sets in the west, similar to the sun, due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Why do stars rise and set in they night sky?
For the same reason that the Sun and the Moon rise and set. That's the result of Earth's rotation.
Do the moon set and rise at the same time each day?
No. The Moon tends to rise about 50 minutes later every day.

Does the sun and moon rise and set becaus of the earth is spinning?
Yes... sort of. The reason for the qualification there is that it's a little more complicated than that, and it partially depends on what you mean by "not spinning". If the Earth were tidally locked with the Sun, the Sun would not appear to rise or set; it would remain in pretty much the same place in the sky. However, in that case the Earth would still be "spinning" ... it's just that its periods of rotation and revolution would be the same. If the Earth were not spinning at all, the STARS would not appear to rise and set, but the Sun would rise and set once (each) per year. The Moon is a separate issue. The fact that the Moon revolves around the Earth means that it will rise and set regardless of whether the Earth spins or not unless the Earth were tidally locked with the Moon. Again, in that case the Earth would be spinning, but each "day" would be about a month long, and the Sun would rise and set 12 or 13 times (each) per year.
