All planets that rotate in our solar system will see apparent sun rise and sun set There are no planets that are stationary not to view the apparent sun rise and sun set.
The reason it is said that the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west is that it doesn't actually rise or set. From our vantage point, it appears that the sun is moving across the sky when in reality, it is the rotation of our own planet that causes the transition from night to day and so on.
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
Anywhere on our planet really, but as you get nearer the poles the rising and setting will shift around a lot more with the changing seasons. On Venus, you would see the sun rise in the west and set in the east, since that planet rotates the opposite way to earth.
The Sun is at the centre of our solar system. the Earth not only orbits the Sun - but also spins on its axis. The spinning of the earth presents a different area of the planet's surface towards the Sun - making the sun appear to rise and set.

It is due to the rotation of the Earth. The Sun is basically standing still, but you are on a planet that spins.

The Sun doesn't "chase" anything. Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise and set, due to the rotation of planet Earth.

Rise in the East and set in the West.
The planet Earth, that we live on, is spinning. It rotates on its axis, once in each 24 hour day. As a result, the sun appears to rise and set.

This questions is wrong, the sun does rise and set on Uranus. Because on its large tilt, many areas of the planet will have a very long night during their winter, and a very long day during the summer, similar to the poles on Earth. However, during the spring and fall, the whole planet will have regular sunrise and sunset.

IMDB has a nice set of pictures on Planet of the Apes.
