  1. On which planet would one witness sunrise in the west ?
    1. Jupiter
    2. Venus
    3. Saturn
    4. Mercury
Correct Option: B

The direction of the sunrise depends upon the direction of the rotation of the earth on its axis. Any planet rotation on its axis from west to east will experience sunrise in the east and viceversa. Venus rotates on its axis from east to west and thus experiences sunrise in the west.
