At sunrise the Moon is 0.3° ahead of the Sun. 0.3 ÷ 12° = 0.02, which puts it in lunar day 1 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

Daylight today is 8h 38m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:29 AM – 12:03 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 35 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal12:51 PM – 1:55 PM
Daylight today is 518 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 65 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
