D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: As the earth moves, the various parts of the Earth receive sunlight or darkness, which gives us day and night. As your planet Earth revolves around the sun, you see the sun rise. When your place turns out to be out of the sun, you see the sun setting.

Complete Answer:
The earth rotates from west to east. So in time the eastern part of the earth is ahead of the western part. The Earth rotates on its own axis and rotates in the east and in an anti-clockwise direction in stable motion. Thus the direction of earth's rotation is considered as from west to east. The earth rotates once in 24 hours. The rotation of the earth in the west-to-east direction, the moon, the sun, and all other heavenly bodies seem to move from east to west. Therefore we can say that the sun rises in the east and descends in the west. The rotation of the earth is the cause of day and night formation. Direction of earth's rotation from west to east is with respect to the North Pole star Polaris. Therefore the parts in east see the sun before the western part, making East ahead of the west.
Therefore the correct answer is Option ‘A: East part is ahead of the West part’.

Note: It must be noted that the earth’s rotation slows down. Every 20-30 years, the speed of the earth’s rotation decelerates. This is caused by the effect the moon has on earth’s tides. This means that the days in the past were shorter than they are today.
