At sunrise the Moon is 277.5° ahead of the Sun. 277.5 ÷ 12° = 23.12, which puts it in lunar day 24 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 184.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 184.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 13.83, which puts it in nakshatra 14 of 27.
SunRises 8:02 AM, sets 4:15 PM
Daylight today is 8h 13m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:52 AM – 12:25 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 33 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:14 PM – 4:15 PM
Daylight today is 493 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 62 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
