why does the sun always set into the sea?

Question

would the water not put it out?

Answer 1

The sun starts off cold in the morning when it floats up from the bottom of the sea. It's like a beach ball, basically, and as it travels to the surface, it picks up speed, so much so that when it reaches the surface, it pops out of the water and into the air- that's when it ignites, the only water that actually gets turned into steam is the few drops still clinging to it, it's not actually that much.

As the sun gets hotter, it rises on a bed of hot air, and that's what carries it across the sky- but when it starts to set, it's already cooling down- actually, when it sets into the sea, it's already going out. When the last flames go out, that's when it drops out of the air and into the water. The sun then sinks to the bottom, because of all the dirt particles it has collected travelling across the sky. Again, very little water actually gets vaporised, it's not that hot when it hits the sea at all.

In the days before the industrial revolution, daylight hours were a lot longer, because it took longer for the sun to pick up enough dirt to bring it down to the ground again, less factory smoke and all. The nights were shorter as well, because the concentration of dirt in the sea was less, and it took less time to dissolve the dirt on the sun so it could rise to the surface again.

Answer 2

Not always. It only appears to set in the sea, because the sea is there. If you were living in a big desert, that is where the sun would set.

Obviously the sun is not actually setting in the sea, because if that were true, the water would put the sun out, and it would not rise again the following day.

Answer 3

If you stand on a beach facing to the north, south, or east, the sun will appear to set over the land!

Presumably you are on a west facing beach. If the sun really did disappear into the sea, the sun (our nearest natural nuclear reactor) would evaporate all the sea, and all life on earth.

Answer 4

The sun does not actually set in the sea. According to where you live, it LOOKS like it does. The sun does not even really set. We revolve around the sun. Remember !?As we (the earth)move around the sun it dissapears under the horizon. Are you just playing with us ?

Answer 5

I hope this is a joke, you do realise that the sun is in outer space, besides it only sets into the sea if you are looking out to sea when its setting, if you were looking at mountains then it would crash into them. Also the sun is so hot it would evapourate the water before it got a chance to put it out.

Answer 6

Sun sets in west not in a sea.

Answer 7

It doesnt.It sets below the western(ish) horizon so if your western horizon is over the sea then the sun appears to sink into the sea.if you live so you have mountains as your western horizon it would look as if the sun has crashed into a mountain.The sun is very much bigger than earth and it is 93,000,000 miles away.Stop Worrying.

Answer 8

Not here it don't! I'm in London mate. The only spot you can see the sea from here is on top of Nelson's Column, so the story goes anyway.

"...you could see to Hackney Marshes, if it wasn't for the houses in between...."

No, the sun sets around here somewhere over the houses in roughtly the north west in summer and south west in winter. Something like that anyway.

Answer 9

The sun never moves, its an illusion the earth is moving on its axis and orbiting the sun.

Also our galaxy the milky way, moves in its own axis orbiting through other galaxies without colliding, because the universe is at a balance.

Answer 10

actually, The moon is just the sun when it has been extinguished, and when that hits the water it gets lit on fire again due to the H2O molecules meeting with the moons highly calcified surface.
