Why does the sun rise in the northeast?

Well, maybe I’ve been misunderstanding all these years. My understanding is that an observer standing north of the Tropic of Cancer would never seen the sun rise directly in the east nor set directly to the west.

What he said. I think I’m beginning to picture it, but I have a follow-up question. Above what latitude will one never see the sun rising north of east? 45N or so?
