Sunrise is the moment when the point you are located on, on Earth, gets to receive its part of the sunlight (due to the Earth's rotation you spoke about). And sunset is the moment when the point you are located on, on Earth, has made its turn and faces away from the Sun, then preventing you from receiving its light.
When the Earth will have made another half of its rotation, you will get to see another sunrise.
The Earth makes a full rotation in a 24h cycle. This is why you get a sunrise and a sunset everyday :)
