Questions from my 6 year old foster grandson today?

Question

Can you answer them

1. If the sun rises then why do we call it a sun set and not a sun fall?

Answer 1

Awwww.....How cute....:) Well we call it a "Sun Set" because the sun is just setting in,to allow for the moon to rise,we don't cal it a "Sun fall" because it does not fall down,lol....it sets and goes down slowly,and it's so beautiful,to watch  too,I hope that answers your grandsons question....:)

Answer 2

You can tell him that when the sun sets it is settling down for a rest because of it's long day of bring sunshine to everyone. When the sun is ready to wake up then it will rise and shine.

If the sun were to fall the sun would go down too fast and some people might miss getting sunshine...so it has to set slowly so everyone around the world can enjoy it.

Answer 3

I looked in 2 translations and Eph 4;26 says   "go down "as in sundown One says sunset. Says Don't let the sun set with you angry.

Answer 4

because the sun can only show during the daylight hours. so it sets for the day. the moon comes up at night.

Answer 5

That is just what people have always called it. Maybe in other parts of the world they call it something else.

He sounds like a very bright and curious little boy. Maybe you could buy him a book about the planets.

Answer 7

becuase it doesn't fall it rotates around the earth and soem people do call it sun fall.

Answer 8

The Sun is just leaving us, for the day; it looks to be resting as it goes out of our sight....!!

But, that is a 'Sunrise in another area of the World....!!

A Good Children's Boof of the Planets should clear this up, a little bit....!!

A Bright Grand- "Son".....!!

Answer 9

because the sun set is better then sun fall if u say sun fall where can the sun fall to? the sun circulated round the earth

Answer 10

Inquisitive little minds children possess. The reason it is called sunset is because when the sun goes down it goes down soft like a whisper setting down rather falling with a loud noise.

Answer 11

Because it sets in the sky, it doesnt just fall, it takes its time and sets...
