Letter: Photos of sun rises and sun sets

Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes:
The photos of "sun sets" and "sun rises" are beautiful and inspiring. But, the sun is fixed at its place in the solar system and we are on a planet that rotates on its axis, making a complete turn every 24 hours, so "we" are the ones moving, not the sun rising and setting. But we do have spectacular observances to appreciate.

I think these rising and setting descriptions maybe the only way we have to express what seems to be, but isn't what is happening. --Vonnie
