Does the sunrise every day?
It doesn’t rise and set. But it appears to rise and set because of the Earth’s rotation on its axis. It makes one complete turn every 24 hours. As the Earth rotates toward the east, it looks like the sun is moving west.
How many times does the sun rise in a year?
For most of us, it rises 365 times per year, because the Earth rotates on its axis once per day, and therefore, the sun appears to rise in the eastern half of the sky each morning, and set in the western half in the evening.

Why does the sun appear larger at sunrise than at sunset?
The Sun appears larger at sunrise than it does while higher in the sky, in a manner similar to the Moon illusion. The Sun appears to rise above the horizon and circle the Earth, but it is actually the Earth that is rotating, with the Sun remaining fixed. This effect results from the fact that an observer on Earth is in a rotating reference frame.
When does the time of Sunrise get later each day?
In late winter and spring, sunrise as seen from temperate latitudes occurs earlier each day, reaching its earliest time near the summer solstice; although the exact date varies by latitude. After this point, the time of sunrise gets later each day, reaching its latest sometime around the winter solstice.
