When travelling Westward towards the sun in a minecart for instance, the sun sets quicker whereas it should set slower. In the real world if you were on the equator say in March travelling at approximately 1040 mph Westward, the sun would stop still, i.e it would not set. The moon is affected in a similar way.

It is probably obvious but the reverse is true when travelling East, the sun rises more slowly and it should rise more quickly. How can this be demonstrated? I have about 150,000 blocks of minetrack, it is very apparent when in a minecart travelling West or East. Create a length of track orientation East/West and this will prove it to you. This problem is not new I have noticed it for years, I should have said something before but it did not affect the gameplay and I never got around to it, it is only aesthetic.

What steps are you following to verify that the sun sets more quickly when travelling west?
