Most people in the entire world believe in sunrise and sunset. Well, what appears to our eyes as the sun coming up in the horizon (east) and of course the sun also setting down in the horizon (west).  The fact is: as the earth rotates around the sun the earth goes down to meet the sun but to our senses we believe that the sun comes up.  In the same way, the sunsets appears that the sun goes down.  No such event – the earth rotates away from the sun.

The real problem is that we could not describe the sunrise and sunset in any other way!
