This is a hard question to answer because the amount of time may change depending on your geographical location and time of year. Other impeding factors such as sea level and hills or mountains on the horizon will also affect time. You cannot really pin-point this answer but an average length would be 2-3 minutes.

Judy"The amount of time that passes between the moment when the bottom of the solar disk touches the horizon and when the top of the solar disk touches the horizon is not constant, but depends on your latitude, on the season, and on how quickly the conditions in the atmosphere change." -http://www.astro.uu.nl/
I videotaped the senset on the equator and it was roughly 4 mins and 15 seconds. That is a rough estimate however, it might be about 15 seconds off.

What direction did the sun come up?
The sun comes up in the east, and settles in the west.
What layers of the sun do solar flares come from?
They do not come from the sunspot. They can be anywhere in the sun,
When does the sun come up in NC?
It comes up in the morning, but at a different time each day. Earlier in the summer and later in the winter. This reminds me of the philosopher who said of the sun and moon, that the moon is obviously the most important because the sun only comes up in the daytime, when it is light anyway.
Will the sun blow up tomorrow?
No, the sun will not blow up tomorrow. The sun will continue to undergo its normal fusion process, radiating energy and sustaining life on Earth for millions of years to come.
Why makes the sun come up and go down?
The Earth rotates on its axis, causing the sun to appear to rise and set in the sky. This daily motion creates day and night as different parts of the Earth are illuminated by the sun.
