No, the Sun cannot rise in the west on Earth under normal circumstances. The rising and setting of the Sun follow a predictable pattern due to Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun.
From an observer's perspective on Earth's surface, the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. This is because Earth rotates from west to east, causing the Sun to appear to move across the sky from east to west. This is a consistent pattern that occurs every day.
In order for the Sun to rise in the west on Earth, there would need to be a drastic change in the rotation of the Earth or a significant shift in its orbit. Such changes are not observed in natural circumstances and would require extraordinary events or forces to occur.
However, it's worth mentioning that during certain atmospheric phenomena, such as optical illusions or atmospheric refraction, the Sun's position can appear distorted or displaced slightly from its actual location. These effects can create visual anomalies but do not alter the fundamental pattern of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
