Because the sun is very hot, almost as hot as MMEEE.

Because the sun doesn't actually sink into the sea. The world is revolving around the sun, so it is a safe distance away from the earth (and the sea). It only looks like it is sinking into the sea from where you are standing.

Funny, I haven't heard that question in years (I was asked that by a 6-year-old and I laughed at the time).
I asked him what about when there is no ocean to your west (say you live in Kansas, west of you is just land, no sea).
Then he seemed to get it.
You must know that the sun is 93 million miles away from Earth, so you also must know that the sun doesn't come anywhere close to touching the Earth.

The sun is not sinking in the sea and you know that! Smile... The sun never sinks. The earth rotates.

The sun doesn't touch the sea and doesn't get any closer to earth at night. The earth is still rotating 93 million miles from the sun.

Because the sun is really a big, round fish that jumps out of the ocean in the east and into the ocean in the west every day, that's why there are waves. The fish is so bright, because its shiny scales reflect all the light from light bulbs on earth.

Because the Sun is so incredibly hot the "vapour" is invisible to the naked eye and it's not until it is put out by the water that the steam condenses in to clouds.

I too wonder at this.
Somewhere over the Western horizon, there must be countless billions of suns...there's one goes over there every night without fail. Sometimes, due to cloud cover, we can't be really certain that one of them actually does go over or not.

Being nighttime it is hard to see anything and this is made worse when the steam fogs your eyeglasses. Wipe them.
Only through cooperation of mediocre minds such as ours can knowledge advance.

Steam is water in the form of an invisible gas.
What you see from boiling water is water vapour.
I will allow better brains than mine to answer your question.

the salt in the sea raises the boiling point of the water so high that it never gets hot enough to evaporate
