According to the story, the sun does not set in water, but appeared to him to do so.

From the way the sun appeared to be standing still, perhaps a good deal longer.

The sun and stars appeared exactly as they do to us upon earth.

It felt as if the sun had just appeared behind her.

In other words, the sun appears to rise and set.

Then we set off toward the mountain, as the sun first appeared.

It was as if a small sun had suddenly appeared on the surface of the world.

As if out of nowhere, Sun had appeared one day in the national press.

In the world above, the Sun had just appeared over the horizon.

The night passes but the sun still has not appeared.
