Confused on why 日の出 and 日の入り mean what they do


So, it is my understanding that 日の出 means sunrise and 日の入り means sunset.
However I'm having difficulty understanding why. 日の出 to me would mean, "The
sun's exit", and 日の入り to me would mean "The sun's entrance". Can anyone help
me better break down these nouns? Is there some meaning to 出 and 入り that I am
missing?




The picture here is actually about the horizon (地平線).

日の出 means that the sun "comes out" from the horizon.

日の入り means that the sun "goes into" the horizon.

Hope this could be helpful to you.
