The atmosphere and landscape causes the sun set to look like it sets and rises as at these points the sun rays are at a point where all harmful rays are blocked off by the atmospheric layers so it is visible as a orange sphere and as the Earth rotates this causes the sun to look like its setting and rising at a distance.
