The whole day

Tomorrow

At sunrise the Moon is 199.4° ahead of the Sun. 199.4 ÷ 12° = 16.61, which puts it in lunar day 17 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraKrittika until 12:56 AM, 28 Octthen Rohini until 10:42 PM, 28 Oct
At sunrise the Moon is at 29.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 29.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 2.20, which puts it in nakshatra 3 of 27.
SunRises 7:30 AM, sets 6:17 PM
Daylight today is 10h 47m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:32 PM – 1:15 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 43 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:35 PM – 4:56 PM
Daylight today is 647 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 81 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.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthKartika · Ashvin 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
Moon · SunMesha · Tula
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 29.3°, Sun 190.0°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 7:14 PM, Sets 9:24 AM, 97% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Why times differ in San Francisco

At 37.8°N, 122.4°W, San Francisco has 24 minutes less daylight than New Delhi today, which changes the length and timing of each traditional period. The tithi at sunrise differs from New Delhi’s today: sunrise here falls in a different lunar day.
