You can believe that the sun rises and sets if you want to,
Dave. Most of us know that the sun is fixed at the center
of the solar system. The names "sun rise" and "sun set" were
coined back when humans believed that the sun actually made
a trip across the sky every day over a flat earth.

Sunrise and sunset are simply names we've given to that which you've
described. My logging program provides me with sunrise and sunset times
for various parts of the world. The National Weather Service uses those
terms. You may choose to say at the beginning of each day that the
earth has rotated so that the star at the center of our solar system is
visible. I don't know anyone who spouts that kind of mouthful.

Do you also
believe in a flat earth?

Where are you getting the "also"?

Now, what about the magic tricks?
