Actually the sun doesn't rise or set, it remains stationary at the centre of the solar system. The reason why it appears as a setting sun or rising sun is because of the facts that the Earth's revolve.
The Earth orbits around the sun at the same time revolving around its own axis. At every 24hrs it completes one revolution. As the Earth is round in shape the sun light cannot cover all the surface of the earth, only covering half the surface at each given time. And due to the revolution of the Earth the cover surface changes each moment giving the appearance of the sun being set or rise.
