The Sun doesn't rise; rather, it appears to rise due to the Earth's rotation. From the moment the Sun is visible on the horizon until it reaches its highest point (noon) can vary depending on your location but typically takes a couple of hours.

That depends what exactly you mean with "rise". The Sun continuously rises, from midnight until noon. The term "sunrise" refers to the Sun rising, when it is close to the horizon; it takes the Sun about 2 minutes to move the equivalent of its own angular diameter, that is, if you live near the Equator, it will take 2 minutes from the Sun's upper rim touching the horizon, until it is totally above the horizon.

About 5 minutes... less time if you are standing in a really hot place - like Libya or Australia in the summer.
