At sunrise the Moon is 114.5° ahead of the Sun. 114.5 ÷ 12° = 9.55, which puts it in lunar day 10 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 327.6° in the sidereal zodiac. 327.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 24.57, which puts it in nakshatra 25 of 27.

Daylight today is 10h 2m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:35 AM – 12:15 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 Kaal1:10 PM – 2:25 PM
Daylight today is 602 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 75 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
