Not much need to wait for sunset, and as @LiamMorris points out, you don't need to count on this uncommonly seen optical phenomenon, just use the sun itself. | |

If you were to lay on the ground and wait for the sun to drop behind the horizon, by standing up you would be able to see the sun again. For a 10 meter giant, they would see far more of the sun by doing this than a 2 meter human would. | |
