At sunrise the Moon is 216.3° ahead of the Sun. 216.3 ÷ 12° = 18.02, which puts it in lunar day 19 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

Daylight today is 10h 40m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:04 PM – 12:46 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 43 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:05 PM – 4:25 PM
Daylight today is 640 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 80 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in Dubai
