The traditional 24 planetary hours for any day and place, from local sunrise and sunset
Offset is auto-filled from the city (Sri Lanka historical changes handled). For other countries, adjust for daylight-saving time if it applied at that date.
Unlike clock hours, planetary hours stretch and shrink with the seasons: the twelve daylight hours divide the span from sunrise to sunset, and the twelve night hours divide sunset to the next sunrise. The first hour of each day is ruled by that day's planet — Sunday the Sun, Monday the Moon, and so on — and successive hours follow the Chaldean order (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon). Traditional practice matches activities to a sympathetic hour ruler. Sunrise and sunset here are computed astronomically for your exact coordinates.
