Yes, the position of the Metacentre depends on the position of the centre of gravity. If the centre of gravity is above the Metacentre, the ship will be stable. If the centre of gravity is below the Metacentre, the ship will be unstable.
The star is considered rising. Also, it is setting when it is the opposite (moving from above the horizon to below.)
The frame of reference for the sunset is typically the observer's position on Earth. The changing position of the Earth as it rotates on its axis causes the sun to appear to set below the horizon.

Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
