West is where the sun sets. Note that that's constant.

@SW-User but does the sun rise from America or from Greenland? 🤔

@HannibalAteMeOut Well that's arbitrary. The second image you posted is valid too. It just looks weird to us because of tradition. West being the direction the sun sets is constant, but "West" being "America" is not. That's just a matter of tradition and history.

@HannibalAteMeOut It appears not to be. :P
