Sunset is the time of day when the sun goes down below the horizon. The sky goes from dark to coloured with lots of shades of pink and orange and red and then to deep purple before the sun goes completely below the horizon and it is night time.

The tides are the rising and falling of the sea because of the pull of the moon and sun on the oceans.
The depth of the water near the coast can change by several metres between high tide and low tide. At low tide a beach may have much, much more sand exposed than at high tide.

Too much exposure to the sun makes your skin age early and become dry and wrinkly, and can give you skin cancer.
