Question
On which degree the Sun sets on Summer Solstice?
On which degree the Sun rises and sets on Winter Solstice?
VL,
This varies a great deal, depending upon where you live. If you live on the equator, the answer is very different from what it would be if you lived at the North Pole. Look at this NASA article:

Expertise
I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.
Experience
I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
