in or from

[YOSHITAKEHORI]

I has been taught before that the preposition of
the following #1.sentence is wrong and the #2. is correct,
but a (Japanese) friend of mine recently told me that the #1 is also okay.
I'm a little bit confused which sentence is correct.
#1.The sun rises from the east.
#2.The sun rises in the east.
Thank you.

'from' could work, yes, but it's incorrect.

[1] from, starting point: from ... to
[2] from, source: comes from

[3] in, within the limits, bounds, or area of: was hit in the face; born in the spring; a chair in the garden.
