    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunroof

    Sunroof systems may be manual or electric, while most moonroof systems are electric/electronic.

    In observational astronomy, culmination is the passage of a celestial object (such as the Sun, the Moon, a planet, a star, constellation or a deep-sky object) across the observer's local meridian. [1] These events are also known as meridian transits, used in timekeeping and navigation, and measured precisely using a transit telescope.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonrise_and_moonset

    The Moon appears to be more yellowish near the horizon. This is for the same reason the Sun and/or sky appears to be orangey-red at sunrise/sunset. When the Moon appears near the horizon, the light coming from it has to pass through more layers of atmosphere. This scatters the blue away, and leaves yellow, orange, and red. [10]

  9. Solar rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_rotation

    At the equator, the solar rotation period is 24.47 days. This is called the sidereal rotation period, and should not be confused with the synodic rotation period of 26.24 days, which is the time for a fixed feature on the Sun to rotate to the same apparent position as viewed from Earth (the Earth's orbital rotation is in the same direction as the Sun's rotation).
