answers:
ReductioAdAstronomicus say: Yes, the Sun also rises in Japan, China, Vietnam, India and surrounding countries. (No offense meant to any countries I omitted).
-
ART say: From now on believe EAST is actually West... Problem solved............... Peace
-
nineteenthly say: East is just defined as the direction in which the Sun rises.
-
daniel g say: Just think, right now, standing at the south pole, it just goes round and round.
-
Bill-M say: As in previous answers: The Rotation of the Earth.
-
Clive say: Because that's the direction the Earth rotates in, west to east. So the Sun appears to go from east to west across the sky.
-
poldi2 say: The word east comes from Middle English est, which comes from the Proto-Germanic aus-to- or austra- "toward the sunrise".
The sun rises in the east because people called the direction of the sunrise "east".
-
az_lender say: Because "east" is defined as the direction towards which the earth is spinning. EVERYTHING rises in the east (sun, moon, stars, even a slow-flying airplane).
-
Ronald 7 say: Because the Earth rotates
Anticlockwise in respect of the Northern Hemisphere
And Clockwise in respect to the Southern Hemisphere
Earth has been spinning since the collision of Theia and Earth and the Moon has acted as a Tidal Brake
-
BJJ say: Because of the rotation of the Earth 
It rotates from west to east 
-
say: Because it is rising in the past, and the sunlight that
you see is already more than eight minutes old.
-
Dark say: well technically it doesn't rise at all ;P
-
CarolOklaNola say: Earth is rotating west to east is why. Where the Sun rises along the eastern horizon changes.
