Because a sunrise or sunset are local phenomena. You cannot see such things if you are not in that location.

The sunrise on the earth refers to when the sun appears over the local horizon or disappears below it for sunset.

Where you are affects affects what you see astronomically speaking.

On the moon you would see the local sunrise and sunset for your location on the moon.
