The sun does not rise and set on Uranus the same way it does on Earth due to the combination of Uranus' extreme tilt and the distance of the sun. It appears on the horizon and slowly grows bigger for 21 years, then starts disappearing for the next 21 years. After the sun disappears from the horizon, there's another 42 years before it appears again.
