What happens is that at the time of sunrise and sunset, Shaytan places his head upon the sun so that the prostration of those who worship the sun is actually directed to Shaytan.

Hadith Commentary:
What happens is that at the time of sunrise and sunset, Satan places his head upon the sun so that the prostration of the sun-worshippers is directed towards the accursed Satan.
This also reveals one of Satan’s filthy and evil acts: how he devises various schemes to mislead the children of Adam. Therefore, we must always continue to act upon the guidance of the Shari‘ah.
