The sun sets in the western sky from wherever you are and it rises in the eastern sky. The terms "eastern" and "western" should be taken in a very general sense. As soon as you get into the northern US states, or even more so into Canada, the sun can rise anywhere from the northeast to the south east and set in the north west to the south west depending on the time of year.

The sun rises and sets in the east and west only at the autumnal and vernal equinoxes (the first day of fall and spring)

An easy way to determine the location of the sunset is to look up the time of sunset in standard time (usually with the weather forecast in the paper) and convert it to a sun set location.

Time of sunset: Direction

4:30 pm : East South East

6 pm : East

7:30 pm : East North East

9 pm : North East

10:30 pm : North North East
