which direction does the sun rise

The Sun generally rises in the east. However, it only rises due east exactly on two days of the year—the spring and fall equinoxes. On other days, the sunrise direction shifts slightly north or south of due east depending on the time of year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Around the summer solstice, the Sun rises north of east, and near the winter solstice, it rises south of east. This variation is more pronounced the further one is from the equator.
