Sunrise, also called sunup in some American English dialects, is the time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins to lighten, some time before the sun itself appears.
As sunrise and sunset are calculated from the leading and trailing edges of the Sun, and not the center; this slightly increase the duration of "day" relative to "night".
The color of the sky at sunrise is explained by the phenomenon of Rayleigh scattering.
Sunsight is a term, according to Allegra Fuller Snyder, collectively coined by Buckminster Fuller's family and used to express the first sighting of the sun in the morning. As the sun actually neither rises nor sets, the terms "sunrise" and "sunset" were anathema to Fuller. The term used to replace "sunset" is sunclipse.
Sunrise is also a Japanese company. Sunrise was also the name of a 1927 movie.

Sunrise is a movie about a woman from the city (played by Margaret Livingston), who tempts a married farmer (George O'Brien) to kill his wife (Janet Gaynor) and run off with her to the city.Written by Hermann Sudermann (story Die Reise Nach Tilsit) and Carl Mayer, and directed by F.W. Murnau, the movie was the only film to win the Academy Award for Unique and Artistic Production (in 1927) when it was a variation of Best Picture.
Gaynor won the Academy Award for Best Actress. The film has also been deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Sunrise is a movie about transitions and choices, both within the story and without -- a German expressionist film made by immigrants to the United States during the changeover from silent to sound film. The characters and the filmmakers alike straddle the old and new worlds, finding it difficult to choose between the familiar and loyal and the flashy and dangerous and ultimately selecting the former.
