At sunrise the Moon is 336.0° ahead of the Sun. 336.0 ÷ 12° = 28.00, which puts it in lunar day 29 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 297.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 297.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 22.29, which puts it in nakshatra 23 of 27.
SunRises 6:35 AM, sets 5:49 PM
Daylight today is 11h 14m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:50 AM – 12:35 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 45 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:24 AM – 10:48 AM
Daylight today is 674 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 84 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in London
