Sunset is the moment when the sun disappears behind the horizon.
The sun only sets completely at the moment when the entire solar disk is no longer visible.

It takes 3 to 4 minutes from the moment that the first edge of the Sun disappears behind the horizon until it sets.
The Sun is visible longer than it actually is above the horizon, this is because the atmosphere has a vertical density gradient.
