Where does the sun rise and set Or does it?
The sun only rises and sets from your viewpoint- standing on the earth. As the earth turns, the sun becomes visible (rises) as your part of the world turns into the sun's light- it sets when your part of the world turns away from the light. But the sun is still shining- just on someplace where you are not.
What happens at the North and South Pole when there's an equinox?

How many times a year does the sun rise and set in the arctic?
That depends on your latitude. The Arctic is all of the area north of the Arctic Circle, which is 66.56° north latitude. At the Arctic Circle, the sun sets every day, although on the June solstice it just barely sets then immediately rises again as soon as it sets. The farther north you go in the Arctic, the fewer the annual number of sunsets (and sunrises). At the northernmost point, the north pole, the sun rises once a year and sets once a year.
