The whole day

At sunrise the Moon is 36.5° ahead of the Sun. 36.5 ÷ 12° = 3.04, which puts it in lunar day 4 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraPurva Ashadha until 8:24 AM, 24 Nov
At sunrise the Moon is at 253.8° in the sidereal zodiac. 253.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 19.04, which puts it in nakshatra 20 of 27.
SunRises 6:59 AM, sets 4:54 PM
Daylight today is 9h 55m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:36 AM – 12:16 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 40 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:39 PM – 4:54 PM
Daylight today is 595 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 74 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
