Genesis 1:14-19 14 And Yah said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And Yah made two great lights; the greater
light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And Yah set them in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide
the light from the darkness: and Yah saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Beginning of the Year

In the northern hemisphere the March equinox marks the start of spring and has long been celebrated as a time of
rebirth. Many cultures and religions celebrate or observe holidays and festivals around the March equinox, like the
Easter and Passover. March equinox and September equinox: a usage becoming the preferred standard by technical
writers choosing to avoid Northern Hemisphere bias (implied by assuming that March is in the springtime and
September is autumnal – true for those in the Northern Hemisphere but exactly opposite in the Southern
Hemisphere).

On the northern hemisphere the north is to the left, the Sun rises in the east (far arrow), culminates in the south (to
the right) while moving to the right and sets in the west (near arrow). Both rise and set positions are displaced
towards the north in summer, and towards the south for the winter track.

On the southern hemisphere the south is to the left, the Sun rises in the east (near arrow), culminates in the north (to
the right) while moving to the left and sets in the west (far arrow). Both rise and set positions are displaced towards
the south in summer, and towards the north for the winter track.

On the equator the Sun is not overhead every day, as some people think. In fact that happens only on two days of the
year, the equinoxes. The solstices are the dates that the Sun stays farthest away from the zenith, only reaching an
altitude of 66.56° either to the north or the south. The only thing special about the equator is that all days of the year,
solstices included, have roughly the same length of about 12 hours, so that it makes no sense to talk about summer
and winter. Instead, tropical areas often have wet and dry seasons.

In the half year centered on the June solstice, the Sun rises north of east and sets north of west, which means longer
days with shorter nights for the Northern Hemisphere and shorter days with longer nights for the Southern
Hemisphere. In the half year centered on the December solstice, the Sun rises south of east and sets south of west
and the durations of day and night are reversed.

Also on the day of an equinox, the Sun rises everywhere on Earth (except at the Poles) at about 06:00 and sets at
about 18:00 (local time). These times are not exact for several reasons:

 The Sun is much larger in diameter than the Earth, so that more than half of the Earth could be in sunlight
at any one time (due to unparallel rays creating tangent points beyond an equal-day-night line).

 Most places on Earth use a time zone which differs from the local solar time by minutes or even hours.
For example, if the Sun rises at 07:00 on the equinox, it will set 12 hours later at 19:00.

 Even people whose time zone is equal to local solar time will not see sunrise and sunset at 06:00 and
18:00. This is due to the variable speed of the Earth in its orbit, and is described as the equation of time. It
has different values for the March and September equinoxes (+8 and −8 minutes respectively).

 Sunrise and sunset are commonly defined for the upper limb of the solar disk, rather than its center. The
upper limb is already up for at least a minute before the center appears, and the upper limb likewise sets
later than the center of the solar disk. Also, when the Sun is near the horizon, atmospheric refraction shifts
its apparent position above its true position by a little more than its own diameter. This makes sunrise
more than two minutes earlier and sunset an equal amount later. These two effects combine to make the
equinox day 12 h 7 min long and the night only 11 h 53 min. Note, however, that these numbers are only
true for the tropics. For moderate latitudes, the discrepancy increases (e.g., 12 minutes in London); and
closer to the Poles it becomes very much larger (in terms of time). Up to about 100 km from either Pole,
the Sun is up for a full 24 hours on an equinox day.

 Night includes twilight. If dawn and dusk are instead considered daytime, the day would be almost 13
hours near the equator, and longer at higher latitudes.

 Height of the horizon changes the day's length. For an observer atop a mountain the day is longer, while
standing in a valley will shorten the day.

Beginning of Month

The new moon is the lesser of the greater lights created in the beginning as it is written; hence full moon marks the
beginning of the month. Genesis 1:14-18

Beginning of Day

The sunrise begins the day and sunset ends the day. Day is called light and Night is called darkness.

Six days work is done from sunrise to sunset. The seventh day no work is done from sunrise to sunset.
