I know I must forward you some context along with the following sentences but I don't remember where these sentences are taken from:

1: The sun set.

2: The sun sets.

Which sentence is correct? To me, only sentence #2 is correct.

Both are correct depending on context.

1. past tense. 2. present tense.
