Sunset
The daily disappearance of the sun below the western horizon as a result of the earth's rotation. In the United States, it is considered as that instant when the upper edge of the sun just disappears below the sea level horizon. In Great Britain, the centre of the sun's disc is used instead. Time of sunset is calculated for mean sea level. See sunrise for comparison.
