Here's my 2 cents... East and West are determined by the spin of the earth, not by the relationship of the earth and sun or stars. The earth spins about the axis defined by the poles, and that doesn't change - the north pole is always at the same place in the arctic, and the south pole is always at the same place in the antarctic. So long as the earth spins about that axis, the sun will always rise in the east, but at a varying latitude as Vaj said. That higher or lower latitude will change the length of the day, but it won't change which way is east. If you use Vaj's stick and circle method for finding which way is east, the latitude of the sun will determine the times at which the shadow crosses the line, and the angle from the stick to the crossing points, but when you join the points, the line will always be parallel to the spin of the earth. The magnetic poles are another matter entirely. They are close to the earths spin axis, but constantly slowly moving around, which is why magnetic north, for most of us, is not the same as true north. Then occasionally at random times, typically hundreds of thousands of years apart, the magnetic poles switch over between the arctic and antarctic. If you look at a compass after that happens it will indicate that *magnetic* north is in the antarctic, so based on that the sun will rise in the west, but that's only by the compass, and in fact the sun will continue to rise in the same direction it always has. So you can build your east facing house, and it will stay facing east. Scorpianon - facing east and still not enlightened ------------------------ Yahoo!
