Answer:

Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given example, the sun is being personified (giving human qualities and characteristics to something nonhuman) by giving it the pronoun he.

Examples of personification:

-My knife pierced my hand angrily as I tried to use her to cut an apple

-The moon is too shy during the day. That's why we can't see him very well
