It exists, it's just complex-valued.

Where does j & k fit into your quaternion representation?

There are both coordinates and rotations, it would probably be better modeled as a quarternion or something of an even higher order.

I believe you can actually compute the sunrise time of a location/day that doesn't have a sunrise, and it would be just a complex number (root of some analytic function).
