rotates and is moving through space quite rapidly.

Of course, the sun's rotation and movement through
space have nothing to do with the sun rising, traveling
across the sky, and then setting.

I've asked a number of times how you refer to the phenomena of what
most of us call "Sunrise" and "Sunset."

I have responded four or five times now.

You certainly have. Each of the times I've asked the questions of what
you call Sunrise and Sunset, you've not provided an answer.

If you are
too dense to get it this time, I will probably not reply
again.

I'm not at all dense, Cecil, as you know from previous exchanges through
the years. I've asked questions. What I get from you in response, does
not contain answers. If you choose not to answer, just say so. A
threat not to reply isn't really much of a threat.

The sun does NOT "rise", does NOT travel across
the sky, and does NOT "set".

Let me ask you once again: If you awaken before dawn and observe the
sun when it first becomes visible, what do *you*, Cecil Moore, call the
phenomenon you are seeing? Please note that I now say and have
previously written that I do not believe that the Sun rises, sets or
travels across the sky. I've stated that the terms Sunrise and Sunset
are commonly used to describe the Sun's first appearance and last
appearance of each day.
