The ending of a day when the light from the sun starts to become less visible due to the rotation of the earth and the position of the earth. it is a result of less sunlight reaching a particular part of the earth's surface and the human on that part of the earth's surface, and so less light from the sun pierces the conjunctivae and enters the pupils to stimulate his or her retinas and so ther is less of a trigger of neuronal inputs that course through my optic nerves, cross at the optic chiasm and then radiate into different lobes of his or her cortex of his or her brain and is perceived as the sun setting by some humans.

It was created to replace the word sunset, which is misleading and wrong. The sun is not setting.

Saptiva is a noun.
1. It is another nice evening and I can see the saptiva. 2. The saptiva is occuring now. 3. The saptiva is mesmerizing.
