Sunrise and sunset / myLot

These two words should not be in the English dictionary. This is because the sun actually does not rise nor sets. As a matter of fact it is static. It doesn't move. The use of the words dawn and dusk should rather be encouraged.

The sun isn’t static. The earth revolves around the sun, but our whole solar system (including the sun) rotates around the Milky Way Galaxy at the amazing speed of 483,000 mph.

I understand your point but this is used to describe how humans understands it.

I love to refer to them as dawn and dusk much nicer terms.
