The term "the sun is rising" is actually quite mistaken it would work fine for a geocentric model of the solar system (where the Earth was the center of the universe), but not for the heliocentric model of the solar system, because the sun is not doing the moving; it's the Earth.
As the our planet rotates, the part facing the sun is ever changing.
One way to think of it is a ball hanging by a string from the ceiling (representing the Earth), turning slowly. Beside that ball is a lightbulb (the sun). So there is always half of the ball that is in light, and half in darkness; but since it is rotating,There is no place that always stays in light or darkness (there would be if I were to add the tilt, but to keep it simple, I won't). Choosing a point just before it hits the light, visualize how it is moving toward the light, and suddenly it is morning, and though it seems that the sun rises, it's just the Earth turning you to face the sun.
I hope that satisfies
