Curiosity Corner for kids: What really makes the sun rise every morning?
The Sun appears to rise and set due to Earth's rotation, not the Sun's movement. Our planet spins on its axis, causing different sides to face the Sun, creating day and night. This constant rotation explains why we see the Sun appear in the east each morning.
