Are you a morning person? I wake up at sunrise to watch the sun just as it appears over the horizon.
Wow, that's incredible! Mornings are tough for me
I love it. Sunrise is really a misnomer, since the sun doesn't really "rise" of course -- it's actually the Earth's motion that makes the sun appear!
I hear that the sunrise is quite pretty if you live on an eastern coast
Yes, it really is. Technically the actual sunrise is very fast. It's the moment the upper part of the sun hits the horizon. It's so cool to watch on the beach on the east coast. 
Lots of people also climb mountains to watch the sunrise, right?
Yes they do. I can understand why for so long people perceived the illusion that the Sun was what was moving. Entire religions and mythologies were based on that belief. 
Right, the idea that the Earth moved around the Sun was quite sacreligious
; this apparent motion is so convincing that most cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus formulated his heliocentric model in the 16th century.
Architect Buckminster Fuller proposed the terms "sunsight" and "sunclipse" to better represent the heliocentric model, though the terms have not entered into common language.

Sunrise (or Sun up) is the moment when the upper limb of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning. The term can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon and its accompanying atmospheric effects.
Terminology.
Terminology "Rise".
Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the "Earth's" motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame
