The whole day

At sunrise the Moon is 118.6° ahead of the Sun. 118.6 ÷ 12° = 9.88, which puts it in lunar day 10 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 159.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 159.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 11.93, which puts it in nakshatra 12 of 27.
SunRises 6:47 AM, sets 4:57 PM
Daylight today is 10h 9m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:32 AM – 12:12 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 Kaal2:24 PM – 3:41 PM
Daylight today is 609 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 76 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.

Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
