Daylight today is 10h 15m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:03 PM – 12:44 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 Kaal1:40 PM – 2:57 PM
Daylight today is 615 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 77 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
