Answer 2

I kind of like Sugary's answer.  The thing is, Earth time is defined by humans as functions of our planet's movement.  We would have to assign times on Neptune in order to give a time for sunrise and sunset.

If we used hours as the same length of time that we do on Earth, we could decide to say that sunrise is 16:00 and sunset is 8:00, or vice versa.  

Or, if we wanted to have noon and midnight, that would mean midnight at 16:00, sunrise 4:00, noon at 8:00, and sunset 12:00.  It just hasn't been defined.

Answer 3

Neptune is now currently our last planet in our milky way. Neptune's day is 16 hours and 11 minutes long. The sun looks like a big star far away. Neptune is a dark planet and there isn't any sunrise or sunset as we know of here on Earth.

Answer 4

Well, if you stood on one spot on Neptune, the Sun would rise when you wake up. Neptune's revolution, (day), lasts approximately 16 hours, so you'd think 8 hours of sunlight, and 8 hours of darkness. Time on Neptune, you'll have to search for, time there is different than it is here. So the Sun doesn't necessarily rise at 5 o'clock P.M..
