No, that means the water in your kitchen is boiling right now. For a science fact that is always true, we must say "Water boils..." 🌡️

Why does "sun" take "rises" with an 's'?

Because "The sun" is singular (it is just one thing). Remember, in the Present Simple, "He, she, it" always takes an 's' or 'es' on the verb! ☀️
