Sure.
Sunrise is when the Sun appears to come up over the Eastern Horizon.
Sunset is when the Sun appears to drop down below the Western horizon.
Both are caused by the fact that the Earth rotates towards the East.
Simple, isn't it?
Oh yes..... The Sun is actually a gigantic hydrogen fusion bomb that consumes about 600 million tons of hydrogen every second to produce it's light and heat.

The sun does not rise and set, the earth rotates like a piece of meat on a BBQ spit.

the sun is always there, it works like your refrigerator lite some one turns it on in the morning and some one turns it out at night.
