Arise and rise

"Arise" means ‘begin’, ‘appear’, ‘occur’, and ‘come to one’s notice’[edit | edit source]

It is used mostly with abstract nouns as subjects. 

Examples:

  • A discussion arose about the best way to pay.
  • I'm afraid a difficulty has arisen.  

"Rise" usually means 'get higher’, 'come/go up’[edit | edit source]

Examples:

  • Prices keep rising. What time does the sun rise?
  • My hopes are rising. 

Note that we usually say that people get up in the morning. Rise is only used with this meaning in a very formal style.
