At sunrise the Moon is 97.5° ahead of the Sun. 97.5 ÷ 12° = 8.13, which puts it in lunar day 9 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 68.7° in the sidereal zodiac. 68.7 ÷ 13°20′ = 5.15, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 6:13 AM, sets 6:07 PM
Daylight today is 11h 54m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:46 AM – 12:33 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 48 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
