Today’s Sun in Vienna
The Sun rises in Vienna at 05:29 AM and sets at 08:31 PM today, with solar noon — the Sun’s highest point — at 01:00 PM. That makes the day 15h 1m long and the night 8h 59m. Because these are computed from the Sun’s real position for Vienna’s exact latitude and longitude, they are accurate to the minute — and they shift a little each day with the seasons.
Why sunrise matters in the Panchang
In Vedic timekeeping, the day begins at sunrise, not midnight — so the exact sunrise sets the reference for the whole Panchang: the tithi and nakshatra of the day, and the inauspicious windows like Rahu Kaal and the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat, which are measured as slices between sunrise and sunset. Get the sunrise wrong and every one of those is wrong too.
