The sun appears during the day because it is a star that emits light and heat. It is the primary source of light for our planet due to its proximity and size. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the planet experience daylight as they come into direct view of the sun.

Why do you say that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west?
The reason it is said that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west is that it doesn't actually rise or set. From our vantage point, it appears that the sun is moving across the sky when in reality, it is the rotation of our own planet that causes the transition from night to day and so on.
Is it true or false does the sun move across the sky each day because of earths revolution?
False. The sun appears to move across the sky each day due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, not its revolution around the sun.
Does the sun fly across the sky during the day?
No, it only appears to. Relative to the Earth, the Sun is an almost-stationary object. The Earth - spinning on it's axis (through the North and South Poles) once a day - creates the illusion that the Sun is moving.
How does the sun looks like when its dark?
When it's dark, you can't see the sun because it's below the horizon. During the day, the sun appears as a bright, spherical ball of light in the sky.

The position of the sun appears to change over a day as it rises in the east, reaches its highest point at noon, and sets in the west. This apparent motion is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
What rotates the sun in one day?
Do you mean, "What revolves around the sun in one day?" or do you mean, "What rotates, so that the sun appears to go completely around in one day?" If you mean the second one, the answer is the earth, since our day is defined by what appears as though the sun were making a complete revolution. If you mean the first, I know of nothing that revolves around the sun in one earth day. Mercury, the closest planet, takes about 88 days to do it. Earth takes about a year.

What is the path the Sun appears to take around the Earth called?
