The whole day

At sunrise the Moon is 98.4° ahead of the Sun. 98.4 ÷ 12° = 8.20, which puts it in lunar day 9 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 10.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 10.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 0.77, which puts it in nakshatra 1 of 27.
SunRises 7:47 AM, sets 5:08 PM
Daylight today is 9h 20m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:09 PM – 12:46 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 37 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal10:08 AM – 11:18 AM
Daylight today is 560 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 70 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
