On which horizon does the sun set?
The western horizon.
At the North Pole the sun will rise above the horizon on and set below the horizon on?
At the North Pole, the Sun will rise above the horizon when spring starts, and it will set at the start of autumn.___________________________If you are at the north pole, then the Sun will rise about March 19, and set about September 23.I know, you expected to hear "March 21" and "September 21", right? Well, the fact is that the Sun's light is refracted around the Earth by the atmosphere; when we see the Sun peek over the horizon, it is ACTUALLY a couple of degrees BELOW the horizon! Celestial navigators have to apply a small correction to observations that are within about 15 degrees of the horizon.This leads to an interesting quirk; an observer at the south pole and an observer at the north pole will BOTH see the Sun as being just above the horizon!

Why is it not correct to say that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west?
While the Sun appears to rise up from the horizon in the east and go back down below the horizon in the west, it is not actually moving around the Earth. We see the Sun "rise" or "set" because the Earth rotates so that the part we are on turns to face the Sun or face away from the Sun.
