How does the sun "peer very warily over the horizon"?

Question

I'm reading this storing and I wanna know ho the sun does this.

Answer 1

It is a metaphor.  That means it is the describing the sun as if the sun had eyes and was looking over the horizon.  In this sense, it means the sun is cautiously looking to see what is going on.

Answer 2

lol.  The author is saying that off in the horizon you can see just the top curve of the sun, like it's peeking over the horizon.  Like a short kid trying to see what's on a table and you just see the top of their head.

Answer 3

The idea of the sun "peering warily over the horizon", as though it has something to be afraid of, could be used in order to create the image of a weak sunrise.

That characterisation of being "wary" might suggest that the sunrise described is lacklustre, or perhaps ominous.

Answer 4

This is basically a description that the author uses to describe the setting. Basically it just means that the sun slowly peeks, or rises up into the sky. Like you see streaks of light as the sun goes over the horizon. It's basically just a description of the sun rises.
