The sun appears to sit still in the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, which creates the illusion of the sun moving across the sky throughout the day. As the Earth rotates from west to east, different parts of the planet experience sunlight and darkness, causing the sun to rise in the east and set in the west. In reality, the sun is at the center of the solar system, and its position remains constant while the Earth and other celestial bodies move around it. Thus, the perception of the sun's stillness is a result of our planet's motion.
What else can I help you with?
Does solstice mean sun stands still?
Yes, "solstice" comes from the Latin words "sol" (sun) and "sistere" (to stand still), as it refers to the apparent pause in the sun's movement in the sky before it reverses direction.
Can you get a sun tan when the sun is low?
Yes, you can get a tan when the sun is low in the sky. But it will take longer because the most effective tanning rays are those from the upper end of the spectrum, and the atmosphere scatters them more readily than light from the lower end of the spectrum. That means that when the sun is lower in the sky, fewer of the tanning rays will reach the skin of the sunbather.

Why does the sun appear to be moving across the sky?
Its the earth that moves, not the Sun. This happens because the Earth rotates towards the east. Here's a way to see how this works. Sit in a chair that can spin, and turn on a lamp across from you. Give the chair a spin but sit still and don't move your head. You will see the lamp move across your field of view just like the Sun moves across Earth's field of view (the sky).

Why does the sun stay still?
The sun appears to stay still in the sky because Earth rotates on its axis. This rotation creates the illusion of the sun moving across the sky from east to west. In reality, the sun is always in motion, with Earth's rotation giving us the perception of a stationary sun.
Why do the Sun move east to west across the sky?
Because you're moving towards the east and the Sun is (effectively) standing still.
How can it still be so cold outside if the sun is still shining?
temperature mostly depends on how high the sun is in the sky (angle overhead). In winter and to a lesser extent spring the sun if much lower in the sky so it colder. In summer and Autumn the sun is much higher in the sky and so its much warmer. So although the sun is shining bright, its still cold because of the time of the year it is.
What is name of the special seat for the sun?
