Sure, here is an example of how you could implement this using PHP and CSS:

1. First, create a PHP file that includes the time information. This file can use the current time to determine which portion of the day (morning, day, evening, night) it is. Here is an example of how this could be implemented:
```php
<?php

$datetime = new DateTime();
$hour = $datetime->format("H");

if ($hour >= 6 && $hour <= 12) {
    $time = "morning";
}else if ($hour >= 12 && $hour <= 17) {
    $time = "day";
}else if ($hour >= 17 && $hour <= 20) {
    $time = "evening";
}else if ($hour >= 20 && $hour <= 6) {
    $time = "night";
}

?>
```
2. Next, create a CSS file that defines the different styles for the sun based on the time of day. Here is an example of how this could be implemented:
```css
.sun-morning {
    background-color: yellow;
    border-radius: 100%;
}

.sun-day {
    background-color: yellow;
    border-radius: 100%;
}

.sun-evening {
    background-color: orange;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right bottom, #dd2900, #da6c0e);
    border-radius: 100%;
}

.sun-night {
    background-color: red;
    border-radius: 100%;
}
```
3. In the HTML file, use CSS classes to apply the styles based on the time of day. Here is an example of how this could be implemented:
```html
<div class="sun-<?php echo $time;?>"></div>
```
In this example, the PHP variable `$time` is used to select the appropriate CSS class, which determines the appearance of the sun.

4. Finally, you can use JavaScript to request the current time from the user's device and update the styles accordingly. Here is an example of how this could be implemented using jQuery:
```javascript
setInterval(function() {
    $.get("time.php", function(data) {
        var hour = data.match(/\d+/)[0];
        if (hour >= 6 && hour <= 12) {
            $(".sun").removeClass("sun-evening sun-night").addClass("sun-morning");
        }else if (hour >= 12 && hour <= 17) {
            $(".sun").removeClass("sun-morning sun-evening").addClass("sun-day");
        }else if (hour >= 17 && hour <= 20) {
            $(".sun").removeClass("sun-day sun-night").addClass("sun-evening");
        }else if (hour >= 20 && hour <= 6) {
            $(".sun").removeClass("sun-morning sun-day sun-evening").addClass("sun-night");
        }
    });
}, 1000);
```
This script requests the current time from the server every second and updates the CSS classes accordingly. The `time.php` file is the same file we created in step 1, which determines the time of day based on the current hour.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Sure, here's a sample code that uses PHP to create a dynamic webpage that changes the appearance of the sun based on the time of day, and CSS to style the sun:

HTML:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Dynamic Sun</title>
	<style>
		.sun {
			position: absolute;
			top: 50%;
			left: 50%;
			transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
			width: 100px;
			height: 100px;
			border-radius: 50%;
			background-color: #FFD700;
			animation: sun-animation 10s linear infinite;
		}

		.sun.sunset {
			background-color: #FF5733;
		}

		@keyframes sun-animation {
			0% {
				transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(0deg);
			}

			50% {
				transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(180deg);
			}

			100% {
				transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(360deg);
			}
		}
	</style>
</head>
<body>
	<div class="sun"></div>

	<?php
		// Get the current time in seconds
		$current_time = time();

		// Calculate the sunset time in seconds
		$sunset_time = strtotime("today 8:00pm");

		// Check if it's daytime or sunset
		if ($current_time < $sunset_time) {
			echo '<script>document.querySelector(".sun").classList.add("sunset");</script>';
		}
	?>
</body>
</html>
```

In this code, we have an HTML `div` element with a class of `sun` that will be styled with a yellow circle background color and a rotating animation. We also have a CSS class `sunset` that will change the background color to red and orange.

In the PHP section, we get the current time in seconds using the `time()` function, and calculate the sunset time in seconds using the `strtotime()` function with a specific time (in this case, 8:00 PM). We then check if the current time is before the sunset time, and if it is, we add the `sunset` class to the `sun` element using JavaScript (`document.querySelector(".sun").classList.add("sunset")`).

To make the sun appear to rotate, we use a CSS `@keyframes` rule with three keyframes that rotate the sun 360 degrees.

You can adjust the sunset time in the PHP code to match your desired sunset time.

Note that this code assumes that the webpage is being served from a server with a PHP interpreter. If you're serving the page from a static file server, you'll need to use a server-side language like Node.js or Python to generate the dynamic content.

Sure, here is a sample code for how to implement this using PHP and CSS:

```php
<?php
$time = date("H:i:s");
$is_daytime = ($time >= 6 && $time <= 18);

if ($is_daytime) {
  // Set the sun to a bright yellow circle
  $sun_color = "yellow";
} else {
  // Set the sun to a red and orange swirl
  $sun_color = "red orange";
}

?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Dynamic Sun</title>
  <style>
    body {
      background-image: url("https://picsum.photos/id/100/200/200");
    }

    #sun {
      width: 100px;
      height: 100px;
      position: absolute;
      top: 50px;
      left: 50px;
      background-color: <?php echo $sun_color; ?>;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="sun"></div>
</body>
</html>
```

This code will create a dynamic webpage that changes the appearance of the sun based on the time of day. The sun will be a bright yellow circle during the day, but a red and orange swirl during sunset.
