This shows how very unobservant you are. In the course of a year the
rising and setting directions of the sun will vary considerably.

My sun rises in the East, swings in the southern sky, and sets in the
West.


For only a few days of the year in temperate zones.

It swings in the southern sky lower in the winter and higher in the
summer.


And in the summer it rises and sets further towards the pole and in winter
more towards the equator.

Would anyone really believe that the path of the sun is so difficult
to understand as it relates to the yard and house ?


Apparently you are having trouble with it so I think it was worth the
mention.

Could anyone really believe that they had raised a significant debate
point ?


Only if you want to take the seasonal position of the sun into account when
doing your passive solar design for your house.

What is your latitude? What do you think is the difference there between
the rising position of the sun between mid winter and mid summer?
