At sunrise the Moon is 181.6° ahead of the Sun. 181.6 ÷ 12° = 15.13, which puts it in lunar day 16 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 80.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 80.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 6.04, which puts it in nakshatra 7 of 27.
SunRises 7:51 AM, sets 4:54 PM
Daylight today is 9h 3m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:04 PM – 12:40 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 36 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal10:07 AM – 11:15 AM
Daylight today is 543 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 68 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthMagha · Pausha in the south and west

Why times differ in Toronto
