Just to help Judy a little with her physics, the sun rises in the East only a few days each year. Based on the following description from the Astronomy Answers website, if what Judy says above were true, the buildings in Vlodrop would have to be built on movable foundations to face the great big bright yellow thing consistently: The direction in which the Sun sets changes from day to day. If you watch sunsets from the same location for a year, then you'll notice that the Sun sets a little further towards the south each day between 21 June and 21 December, and a little further towards the north each day between 21 December and 21 June. Around 21 June, the sunset is furthest to the north, and around 21 December it is furthest towards the south. Around 21 March and 23 September, the setting Sun is almost due west. The size of the difference between the northernmost and southernmost sunset depends on your geographical latitude. For the Netherlands (at 52° north) the difference is about 80°: around 21 June the Sun sets about 40° north of west there (so about in the northwest), and around 21 December the Sun sets about 40° south of west there (so about in the southwest). If you get closer to the pole, then the difference increases, and if you go closer to the equator, then the difference diminishes. The same holds for sunrise, but then in the east instead of in the west. Around 21 June, in the Netherlands, the Sun rises in about the northeast, goes through the south, and sets in about the northwest. Around 21 March and 23 September, the Sun rises in the east, goes through the south, and sets in the west. Around 21 December, the Sun rises in about the southeast, goes through the south, and sets in about the southwest. And, just for a final laugh on the subject, please check out the PDF that contains one of the TM move- ment's greatest moments, the planned "reconstruction" of New York and Paris to "correct" them: http://www.peacecolonies.org/PDF_EN/GlobalReconstruction-300%204.pdf :-)
