Sunset isn't arbitrary, Its defined as the time the sun transitions below the horizon of your location. Its time varies based on where you are on earth and where the earth is in relation to the sun, but its not arbitrary.

That’s not what I said was arbitrary. The time we assign to it is arbitrary. It already is arbitrary, there isn’t any “correct” time of day to assign to it at any location. To the extent assigning a time at all serves a particular purpose, it’s a social purpose, and its assignment should be based on that.
