Uranus doesn't have typical sunsets or sunrises. Rather, the sun traces a spiral path in the sky for half a Uranian year (42 Earth years), followed by darkness for the other half. This is because Uranus rolls along on its side, while the other (normal) planets spin like tops on a table as they go around the Sun.
