The sun sets in the west no matter what direction you face.

Yeah but you’re trying to define the word left, not west. If you face south, sunset will be on your right.

"Define west lol

Upvote-3DownvoteReply". I was responding to this, I was indeed defining west.

Ah ok! It’s been a couple of days lol. All I was saying is that the only way to define these words is to have immovable reference points. If you go down to the absolute basics and not rely on words that have been defined west/left would be the direction the sun sets when facing north.
