"Does the sun set in the East, or the West?"

Geocentrists observed it setting in the western sky. For many years, however, mankind has recognized that the Earth rotates eastward while the Sun, relative to the rest of the Solar System, pretty much stays put.

BTW, I assume the question is talking about the Sun, despite the lack of capitalization, since no other suns have been mentioned?

I may not have cap[italized correctly. But it is the basic question, do you watch the sun go down to the west or east? I don't think they are looking for the earths rotation, etc
