From an astronomical perspective — a viewpoint used by a tiny minority of us, a tiny amount of the time — we see something different, as you imply. This is quite understandable. If you move the point of observation, what you see changes. We know that from science. Although, in this case, it is so simple and obvious that applying science is a bit of a hammer-to-crack-a-nut — if I look at you from the back and the front, I see different things, and both views are correct and useful.
The view that we take for most of our real lives reflects the older truth, that the Sun rises and sets. We know that from science.
