To lie down.

Here "ложусь" is used reflexively to indicate the action of laying oneself down for sleep.

The verb "ложится" here metaphorically describes the action of an object (the sun) heading below the horizon, creating an imagery of lying down.

The sun sets beyond the horizon, coloring the sky red.
