<human>:  Why is it that the wind blows from the west to the east?
<bot>: That’s because the Earth rotates from west to east. The wind is created by the rotation of the Earth. The Earth spins at a rate of 1 revolution every 24 hours, which means that the Earth rotates about 1,460 miles in 24 hours. This is why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
