Answer: The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west.

Does the sunset in the west?

We usually speak of the sun setting in the west, but technically it only sets due west at the spring and autumn equinoxes. For the rest of the year, the direction of sunset pivots about this westerly point, moving northerly in winter, and towards the south in summer.

Which direction does the sunset in Australia?

The sun always rises in the east and sets in the west in Australia, but not exactly due east or due west. There is some seasonal variation in the exact direction that the sun sets – the sun rises due east only two times per year (the equinoxes).
