The whole day

Tomorrow

At sunrise the Moon is 357.5° ahead of the Sun. 357.5 ÷ 12° = 29.80, which puts it in lunar day 30 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraDhanishta until 3:46 PMthen Shatabhisha until 3:46 PM, 18 Feb
At sunrise the Moon is at 301.9° in the sidereal zodiac. 301.9 ÷ 13°20′ = 22.65, which puts it in nakshatra 23 of 27.
SunRises 7:10 AM, sets 5:19 PM
Daylight today is 10h 9m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:55 AM – 12:35 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 41 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:47 PM – 4:03 PM
Daylight today is 609 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 76 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.

Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthPhalguna · Magha in the south and west
North India usually ends a month at full moon, and much of the south and west at new moon. In the dark fortnight, the two count different months. Why there are two names
