What do we say when the sun goes down over the horizon?

We say that it is 'setting,' but this is apparent motion, and not true motion. The same is true for the rising and setting of the moon and fixed stars. There is another spectacular example of apparent motion that is different from true motion. Because the moon 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west, it is easy to think that it is "moving" from east to west. In fact, the moon's orbit around the earth is from west to east. The slow (monthly) orbit of the moon along with the 24-hour rotation of the earth give us the impression of the moon's apparent motion.


How do planets effect if the sun sets in the east or west?

The rising and setting of the sun is called an "apparent" motion, not a proper or true motion of the sun. The sun isn't doing anything special as far as rising or setting from a planet's point of view. The apparent motion comes entirely from the rotation of the planets on their axes (poles). The earth rotates (spins) on its axis (the line through the earth containing the north and south poles-- they are really part of one single line. As the earth turns from west to east, the sun and stars appear to move across the sky. Because the earth is moving toward the east, when the sun does come into view (sunrise) it comes into view at the eastern horizon.
