Yes, the question was recently asked, even by the same member: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-686585-1.html
Guess he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Spend $10 and get the PhotoPills app. Lots of useful tools and tutorials.

Aim your camera 45 degrees to either side of the sunset and 45 degrees up, in manual, set your camera for that exposure, then, return to the sunset and take a shot, look at the image on your rear screen and adjust your setting to please yourself. Make sure to include a fore ground to make it interesting.
PS, didn't you are someone else ask a very similar question yesterday?

What's the difference between sun set and sun down?
About 12 hours

The setting sun was so intense at direct eye level that I had to under expose by several stops. As a result the trees and foreground were underexposed and too dark. Because I shot in RAW, I was able to reclaim some of the detail of the village and trees and to select best lighting mode before development.

Actually that’s between sunset and sunRISE. I’m suspecting that’s what the OP intended. A few more weeks and it’ll be exactly 12 hours.

I sometimes use time exposure and underexpose . I let the camera do the work. You are an artist. Let it be what you see.

Do changes to in-camera white balance settings affect raw files, or just JPG images?

Just JPEG, but depending what software you use that setting can be automatically applied in PP.
