Yes.

The Sun apparently moves across the sky every day because of the Earth's rotation. It rises towards the East then later it sets towards the West.

Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.

What causes the Sun to appear to set earth's rotation or revolution?

The Sun appears to set due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates from west to east, the Sun seems to move across the sky from east to west. This daily rotation creates the illusion of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west, even though the Sun itself is not moving. The Earth's revolution around the Sun does affect the overall position of the Sun in the sky throughout the year, but the daily setting is primarily a result of rotation.
