"Moving continuously East ... is not the shortest route." to where, exactly? It's probably one of the two shortest routes back to where you started, unless you are actually on the equator. Of course this assumes that the earth is a perfect sphere, there's no mountains in the way, jumping on the spot is cheating, and ignoring the movement of the earth round the sun, the sun round the galaxy, errmm, I think it's best to stay home and have a nice cup of tea, don't you?

Is East the direction in which the sun rises on all planets, or just planet Earth? -- Rebroad 12:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Whatever the etymology of the word, the usage from the Graeco-Roman-Mediterranean area seems dominant, from an age when solar navigation was all of navigation. 'East" is where the sun rises, and the other cardinal points follow. The usage was established long before the magnetic field was in consideration. Even longer before changes in the magnetic field were detected. After the Earth's movement around the Sun, it's axial rotation is the largest contribution to its intrinsic energy. For any body in space, "East" would be where the primary body of the system rises (North etc follow). PROBLEMS : multiple primaries (small problem : for a stable orbit, the primaries must be close in the sky) ; unstable dynamics (well, they're unstable!) ; non-rotating or locked planets (hmmm) ; time scale (does Earth rotate around the Sun, or the mass-centre of the galaxy?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by A Karley ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
The word East itself is a mysterious word because over the years it has been associated with mystery,disaster,conflict,opportunities and religion such as the following;
a)The garden of Eden was situated on the East, Gen 2:8
b)The sun rises from the East.
c)The three wise men came from the East.
d)Christians celebrate Easter.
e)African countries in east always experience wars and famine eg,Eastern Darfur,Somalia,Kenya.
f)In Zimbabwe, diamonds were found in the East of Mutare,Chiadzwa.
g)The Middle East continue to experience wars and conflict.
