Sun rise and sunset while standing on the moon 
Psalm 148:1-4 NKJV
[1] Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!
[2] Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
[3] Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!
[4] Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens!

As the video shows, sunrise on the moon comes suddenly.
On Earth, when you watch a sunrise or sunset, you can see
coloured light in the sky, scattered by our planet’s atmosphere.
The moon doesn’t have an atmosphere, so there are no twilight
colors. Plus, if you were watching a sunrise on the moon, you
would see stars rise in the sun’s vicinity and cross the sky with
the sun throughout the lunar day. And, because there’s no
atmosphere on the moon, sunset on the moon would be equally
abrupt. The moment after the sun set would be as dark as
midnight, with no lingering color at all.
Earth’s atmosphere also makes our sky look blue in the daytime.
From the moon, the sky always looks black, even during the lunar
day when the sun is shining in the moon’s sky.
Here on Earth, our planet’s spin on its axis carries us from daylight
to darkness and back again every 24 hours. Twenty-four hours is
the length of an earthly day. A lot of people incorrectly believe
the moon doesn’t rotate, but the moon does spin on its axis, too, just
as Earth does. It has to in order to keep one face aimed in our
direction. As experienced from a single spot on the moon, there
are about 29 earthly days from one lunar noon to the next. That
means there would be about two weeks between each lunar
sunrise and sunset, from any given spot on the moon’s globe.

Solar eclipse 2015
Psalm 8:3-9 NKJV
[3] When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the
stars, which You have ordained, [4] What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him? [5] For You have made him a little lower
than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and Honour
[6] You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet, [7] All sheep and oxen- Even the
beasts of the field, [8] The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That
pass through the paths of the seas. [9] O LORD, our Lord, How excellent
is Your name in all the earth!
