Rise is mostly used for things or persons that move from a lower to a higher lever, go up: the sun rises every morning. The plane rose to 2000 metres. All rise! (a call for people in a court of law to stand). Dracula has risen from the dead! (came back to life). He rose to fame (became famous). Note that raise is a transitive verb that corresponds to the intransitive rise: something rises (by itself), but we raise something (we cause it to rise): The students raised their hands. Are they going to raiseour salaries?

Arise is used to speak of situations that (usually unexpectedly) come up. So, problems, matters, needs, opportunities etc. arise: Could you stay over for a couple of hours should the need arise?
