Chand Kab aur Kahan Dikhega? (Chandrodaya ka Raaz)
Kabhi shaam ko paschim mein, kabhi aadhi raat ko poorab mein, kabhi subah sir ke upar: Chand ka “time-table” samjhiye! 🌙⏰
🧭 Is Post Mein
📖 Kahani: Golu ki “Chand Notebook”
Patang udaate-udaate shaam ho gayi thi. Sooraj paschim (West) mein abhi-abhi dooba tha. Tabhi Priya chillayi, “Dekho! Sooraj ke theek upar ek patli si chamakti lakeer!” Woh Shukla Paksha ka naya, patla Chand tha. Golu ne jaldi se apni notebook mein likha: “Shaam 6 baje, Chand paschim mein, neeche, patla.” Ghante-dedh ghante mein woh Chand bhi Sooraj ke peeche-peeche doob gaya.
Ek hafte baad, usi samay, Golu phir chhat par aaya. Is baar Chand paschim mein nahi tha. Woh aasmaan mein kaafi upar, dakshin (South) ki taraf tha, aur aadha chamak raha tha!
Aur ek hafte baad, Purnima ko, Sooraj doob raha tha aur theek usi waqt poorab (East) se bada, gol, naarangi Chand nikal raha tha. Rohan bola, “Yaar, yeh Chand toh roz apni jagah aur apna time badal raha hai!”
Chaar din baad Rohan ki mummy ka Karva Chauth tha. Sab chhat par raat 8:30 baje tak Chand ka intezaar karte rahe. Rohan ne poochha, “Purnima ko toh Chand sooraj doobte hi aa gaya tha, aaj itni der kyun?”
Teen sawaal: Chand roz kitni der se ugta hai, aur kyun? Kis phase mein Chand kis samay aur kis disha mein dikhega? Aur kya Chand din mein bhi aasmaan mein hota hai? Chaliye, Chand ka time-table banate hain! 🔭
🎯 Is Post Mein Kya Seekhenge
- Chand poorab (East) mein kyun ugta hai aur paschim (West) mein kyun doobta hai
- Chandrodaya (moonrise) roz lagbhag 50 minute der se kyun hota hai
- Har phase mein Chand lagbhag kab ugta hai, kab sabse upar hota hai, kab doobta hai
- Shaam ka Chand (Shukla Paksha) aur subah ka Chand (Krishna Paksha) kahan dikhta hai
- Chand din mein bhi kyun dikh jaata hai
- “Mutthi se naapo” activity: Chand roz kitna khisakta hai, khud dekhiye
🧱 Basics: Pehle Yeh Aana Chahiye
1. Dishaayein: subah jahan Sooraj ugta hai woh poorab (East); shaam ko jahan doobta hai woh paschim (West). Poorab ki taraf munh karke khade ho, toh baayen haath par uttar (North) aur daayen haath par dakshin (South).
2. Horizon (kshitij): door jahan aasmaan aur zameen milte hue dikhte hain. “Ugna” = horizon ke upar aana, “doobna” = horizon ke neeche jaana.
3. Dharti ghoomti hai (rotation): Dharti apni dhuri par paschim se poorab ki taraf ghoomti hai, 24 ghante mein ek chakkar. Isiliye humein Sooraj, Chand aur taare poorab se paschim ki taraf chalte dikhte hain.
4. Pichle post se (Post 1): Purnima → Krishna Paksha (ghatna) → Amavasya → Shukla Paksha (badhna) → Purnima, lagbhag 29.5 din mein.
💡 Concept: Chand Kab aur Kahan Dikhega?
Step 1: Chand bhi poorab mein ugta hai. Bilkul Sooraj ki tarah, Chand bhi poorab mein ugta hai, aasmaan mein upar chadhta hai, aur paschim mein doobta hai. Yeh “chalna” asal mein Dharti ke ghoomne ki wajah se dikhta hai, jaise chalti train se bahar ke ped ulti taraf bhaagte dikhte hain.
Step 2: Lekin Chand ka time roz badalta hai. Sooraj roz lagbhag ek hi samay ugta hai, par Chand roz lagbhag 50 minute der se ugta hai. Aaj 7:00 baje uga, toh kal lagbhag 7:50 baje, parson lagbhag 8:40 baje.
Step 3: Der kyun? Kyunki Chand khud bhi Dharti ke chaaron taraf ghoom raha hai (revolution), usi disha mein jismein Dharti ghoomti hai. Ek din mein Chand apne raaste par lagbhag 12° aage nikal jaata hai. Toh Dharti ko ek poora chakkar lagane ke baad 12° aur ghoomna padta hai, tab jaakar Chand phir horizon par aata hai.
Step 4: Phase aur samay ka rishta. Phase is baat par nirbhar hai ki aasmaan mein Chand, Sooraj se kitna door dikhta hai:
• Chand Sooraj se ek-chauthai chakkar peeche → aadha (First Quarter) → lagbhag 12 dopahar ugta.
• Chand Sooraj ke theek saamne (opposite) → Purnima → lagbhag 6 PM (sooraj doobte hi) ugta, poori raat rehta, 6 AM doobta.
• Phir teen-chauthai → aadha (Last Quarter) → lagbhag 12 aadhi raat ugta.
Step 5: Har 3–4 din, lagbhag 3 ghante aage. Phase ke har chhote kadam (lagbhag 3.7 din) mein udaya ka samay lagbhag 3 ghante khisak jaata hai (3.7 × 50 minute ≈ 3 ghante). Neeche Diagram 2 mein poora time-table hai.
Step 6: Chamakta hissa hamesha Sooraj ki taraf. Chand ka jo hissa chamakta hai, woh Sooraj ki roshni se hi chamakta hai, toh woh hamesha Sooraj ki disha mein hota hai. Shaam ke crescent ka chamakta kinara paschim (dooba hua Sooraj) ki taraf, subah ke crescent ka chamakta kinara poorab (ugta Sooraj) ki taraf.
Ek line mein: Chand poorab mein ugta hai, roz ~50 minute der se; shaam ka Chand = Shukla Paksha (badhta), subah ka Chand = Krishna Paksha (ghatta); Purnima sooraj doobte ugti hai aur poori raat rehti hai.

🔐 Deep Concept: “50 minute” Hamesha 50 Kyun Nahi?
1. Asli hisaab: Chand ka phase-chakra ≈ 29.5 din. Ek din mein Chand, Sooraj ke mukable 360° ÷ 29.5 ≈ 12.2° aage jaata hai. 12.2° × 4 minute ≈ 49 minute. Isiliye ek “Chandra din” (ek chandrodaya se agle tak) average mein lagbhag 24 ghante 50 minute ka hota hai.
2. Average hai, roz ka pakka number nahi. Chand ka raasta horizon se kabhi seedha khada, kabhi tirchha (slanting) kon banata hai. Isliye roz ki deri kabhi 30 minute, kabhi 70 minute bhi ho jaati hai. Udaharan: October 2026 mein Delhi mein Sharad Purnima (26 Oct) se pehle ke dinon mein Chand roz sirf ~30–40 minute der se uga, aur uske baad ~45–70 minute der se.
Dekho: Purnima ko Chand lagbhag sooraj doobne (5:41 PM) ke saath uga. Uske baad deri 44 → 53 → 60 → 67 minute badhti gayi.
3. Mahine mein ek din “Chand uga hi nahi”! Kyunki Chand roz der se ugta hai, kabhi udaya ka samay raat 11:30 se khisak kar agle din 12:20 AM par chala jaata hai. Us beech wale calendar din par koi chandrodaya hota hi nahi. Panchang mein aise din aap dhoondh sakte ho.
4. Shukla aur Krishna ka “shaam-subah” niyam kyun? Shukla Paksha mein Chand Sooraj se poorab ki taraf hota hai, toh Sooraj ke baad ugta aur baad mein doobta hai, isliye shaam ko dikhta hai. Krishna Paksha mein Chand Sooraj se paschim ki taraf hota hai, toh Sooraj se pehle ugta hai, isliye subah (bhor) ke aasmaan mein dikhta hai.
✏️ Examples: Chand Kab, Kahan, Kaisa?
Purnima ko Chand Sooraj ke saamne hota hai: Sooraj paschim mein doobe, Chand poorab mein uge.
Sooraj ke kareeb hai, isliye Sooraj ke thodi der baad hi (lagbhag 8:30–9 baje tak) doob jaata hai.
Yeh aadhi raat ko uga tha (6 PM + 7 × 50 min ≈ 11:50 PM), toh 6 ghante baad sabse upar hai.
3 × 50 = 150 minute = 2 ghante 30 minute.
Waxing gibbous lagbhag 3 PM ke aas-paas ugta hai, isliye din mein hi dikh jaata hai.
Subah ka Chand = Krishna Paksha. Chamakta kinara neeche-poorab, aane wale Sooraj ki taraf.
⚖️ Difference Table: Shaam ka Chand vs Subah ka Chand
| Baat | Shaam ka Chand | Subah ka Chand |
|---|---|---|
| Paksha | Shukla Paksha (waxing) | Krishna Paksha (waning) |
| Sooraj ke mukable | Sooraj ke baad ugta, baad mein doobta | Sooraj se pehle ugta, pehle doobta |
| Crescent kahan dikhe | Sooraj doobne ke baad, paschim mein neeche | Sooraj nikalne se pehle, poorab mein neeche |
| Aadha Chand | First Quarter: ~12 PM uge, shaam ko sabse upar, ~12 AM doobe | Last Quarter: ~12 AM uge, subah sabse upar, ~12 PM doobe |
| Chamakta kinara | Paschim ki taraf (dooba Sooraj) | Poorab ki taraf (aane wala Sooraj) |
| Din mein kab dikh sakta hai | Dopahar–shaam (poorab ki taraf) | Subah–dopahar (paschim ki taraf) |
🚫 Misconceptions: Log aisa sochte hain… lekin
❌ “Chand roz raat ko ek hi time nikalta hai.”
✅ Sach: Chand roz lagbhag 50 minute der se ugta hai. Ek hafte mein lagbhag 6 ghante ka fark aa jaata hai.
❌ “Chand sirf raat ka hai, din mein aasmaan mein hota hi nahi.”
✅ Sach: mahine ke lagbhag har din, Chand kuch ghante din mein bhi horizon ke upar hota hai. Dhoop ki wajah se halka dikhta hai, par saaf aasmaan mein dikh jaata hai.
❌ “Chand kabhi paschim se bhi ugta hai.”
✅ Sach: Chand hamesha poorab ki taraf se ugta hai aur paschim ki taraf doobta hai. Shaam ko paschim mein dikhne wala crescent ug nahi raha, doobne ja raha hota hai.
❌ “Chand roz isliye late aata hai kyunki Dharti dheere ghoom rahi hai.”
✅ Sach: Dharti ki speed nahi badli. Deri Chand ke apne raaste par aage badhne (revolution) ki wajah se hai.
❌ “Purnima ka Chand aadhi raat ko ugta hai.”
✅ Sach: Purnima ka Chand lagbhag sooraj doobne ke samay ugta hai; aadhi raat ko woh sabse upar hota hai. Aadhi raat ko ugne wala Chand Last Quarter (aadha) hota hai.
🔤 Key Terms (Exam mein English shabd hi likhna)
❓ FAQs
1. Chand roz theek kitni der se ugta hai?
Average mein lagbhag 50 minute (≈ 49 minute). Par roz ka asli fark mausam aur jagah ke hisaab se lagbhag 30 se 70 minute tak ho sakta hai.
2. Kya alag shahron mein chandrodaya ka samay alag hota hai?
Haan, thoda sa. Jaise Sooraj Kolkata mein Mumbai se pehle ugta hai, waise hi Chand bhi poorab ke shahron mein pehle ugta hai. Isliye panchang ya app apne shahar ka samay batate hain.
3. Ugte hue Chand bada aur naarangi kyun dikhta hai?
Horizon ke paas Chand ki roshni hawa ki zyada moti parat se guzarti hai, jo neeli roshni ko bikher deti hai, isliye woh naarangi dikhta hai. “Bada” dikhna zyaadatar humari aankh aur dimaag ka bhram (Moon illusion) hai; asli size utna hi rehta hai.
4. Eid ka chand dekhna mushkil kyun hota hai?
Kyunki Amavasya ke turant baad ka crescent bahut patla hota hai aur Sooraj ke bahut paas hota hai. Woh sooraj doobne ke thodi hi der baad paschim mein doob jaata hai, aur shaam ki roshni mein mushkil se dikhta hai.
5. Kya Chand ki roz ki deri aur samudra ke jwaar-bhaate (tides) ka koi rishta hai?
Haan. Tides zyaadatar Chand ke khinchaav se aate hain, isliye high tide ka samay bhi roz lagbhag 50 minute aage khisakta hai. Machhuaare isi hisaab se samudra mein jaate hain.
🧪 Activity: “Mutthi se Naapo” — Chand Roz Kitna Khisakta Hai?
Post 1 ki “Chand Diary” mein humne Chand ki shakal note ki thi. Is activity mein hum Chand ki jagah aur samay note karenge.
Saamaan: copy, pencil, ghadi/phone (sirf time ke liye), aur ek bada (adult) saathi. Aur aapka apna haath! 👊
Mutthi ki trick: haath ko poora seedha aage failao aur mutthi band karo. Aankh se dekhne par ek band mutthi aasmaan ka lagbhag 10° dhakti hai.
Kab shuru karein? Amavasya ke 2–3 din baad, shaam ko. (Is saal: Amavasya lagbhag 9 November 2026 ko hai, toh 11–12 November ki shaam se shuru kar sakte hain.)
Kya dikhega: har shaam Chand, Sooraj doobne ki jagah se lagbhag ek mutthi se thoda zyada (≈12°) aur poorab ki taraf khisakta dikhega, aur uski shakal roz badhti jaayegi. Lagbhag 7 din baad aadha Chand dakshin mein kaafi upar hoga. Bonus mein: Chand roz pichhle din se lagbhag 40–60 minute der se ugta dikhega.
Nishkarsh: Chand roz apne raaste par lagbhag 12° poorab ki taraf aage badhta hai. Isi wajah se woh roz der se ugta hai, aur jitna woh Sooraj se door jaata hai, utna uska chamakta hissa badhta hai.
Yeh activity NCERT ki Class 8 Science book Curiosity (Chapter 11) par aadharit hai, aur yahan apne shabdon mein samjhayi gayi hai.
🏠 Mini Experiments (Ghar pe)
Isse kya pata chala? Average lagbhag 50 minute aata hai, lekin har din ka farak alag-alag hota hai.
Kamre mein ek lamp (Sooraj) ek taraf rakho. Aap khud Dharti bano, aur haath mein ek gend (Chand) lo. Gend ko lamp ke theek ulti taraf rakho (Purnima). Ab dheere-dheere apni jagah par ghoomo (Dharti ka rotation). Dekho: jab lamp aapki ek taraf “doob” raha hota hai (aankh se ojhal), tabhi gend doosri taraf se “ugti” hai!
Shukla Paksha ke 8–12 din (Diagram 2 dekho) mein dopahar 3–5 baje poorab ki taraf, ya Krishna Paksha ke 18–22 din mein subah 7–9 baje paschim ki taraf saaf aasmaan mein dekho. Halka safed Chand dhoondh kar copy mein uski disha aur shakal banao.
🧠 Think Like a Scientist
Sawaal: Golu kehta hai, “Book mein likha hai Chand roz 50 minute late ugta hai, toh har din pakka 50 minute hi hoga.” Ek scientist ki tarah ise kaise check karoge?
Scientist ka tareeka dekho
1. Observe (dekho): Purnima ke aas-paas Chand kabhi jaldi, kabhi der se nikalta lagta hai.
2. Guess (anumaan): shayad 50 minute sirf average hai, aur roz ka farak alag hota hai.
3. Test (jaanch): 10 din ke chandrodaya samay likho (panchang/app se, ya khud dekh kar) aur roz ka farak nikalo.
4. Result: Delhi, October 2026 ka data: farak 30, 30, 32, 33, 39, 44, 53, 60, 67 minute aaye. Average ≈ 43 minute, aur har din alag! (Poore saal ka average ≈ 50 minute aata hai.)
5. Conclusion: “50 minute” ek average niyam hai, pakka roz ka number nahi. Science mein niyam ko data se check karna hi asli maza hai! 🔬

📝 Very Short Answer (1 mark)
1. Chandrodaya (moonrise) kise kehte hain?
Chand ka poorab mein horizon ke upar aana.
2. Waxing crescent kab aur kis disha mein dikhta hai?
Shaam ko, sooraj doobne ke baad, paschim mein neeche.
3. Purnima ka Chand lagbhag kab doobta hai?
Lagbhag sooraj nikalne ke samay (subah ~6 baje), paschim mein.
4. Dharti ek ghante mein kitne degree ghoomti hai?
15° (360° ÷ 24).
5. Ek din mein Chand apne raaste par lagbhag kitna aage badhta hai?
Lagbhag 12° (360° ÷ 29.5 ≈ 12.2°).
📝 Short Answer (2–3 marks)
1. Chand roz lagbhag 50 minute der se kyun ugta hai? Samjhao.
Chand Dharti ke chaaron taraf usi disha mein ghoomta hai jismein Dharti ghoomti hai, aur ek din mein ~12° aage badh jaata hai. Isliye Dharti ko poore chakkar ke baad 12° aur ghoomna padta hai. Dharti 1° 4 minute mein ghoomti hai, toh 12° × 4 ≈ 48–50 minute ki deri hoti hai.
2. Chand din mein bhi dikh sakta hai: do udaharan do.
(1) Shukla Paksha ke 8–12 din mein Chand dopahar 12–3 baje ke beech ugta hai, toh shaam se pehle poorab/dakshin ke aasmaan mein dikhta hai. (2) Purnima ke baad ke dinon mein Chand subah paschim mein der tak (9–10 baje tak) dikhta hai.
3. Shaam ko kaunse phases dikhte hain aur subah kaunse? Kyun?
Shaam ko Shukla Paksha ke phases (waxing crescent, First Quarter, waxing gibbous) dikhte hain, kyunki tab Chand Sooraj se poorab ki taraf hota hai aur Sooraj ke baad doobta hai. Subah Krishna Paksha ke phases (waning gibbous, Last Quarter, waning crescent) dikhte hain, kyunki tab Chand Sooraj se pehle ugta hai.
4. Purnima ko Chand 6 PM par uga. Lagbhag 7 din baad Chand kab ugega aur kaisa dikhega?
7 × 50 = 350 minute ≈ 5 ghante 50 minute. 6 PM + 5:50 ≈ 11:50 PM, yaani lagbhag aadhi raat. Tab Chand aadha (Last Quarter) dikhega.
📝 Long Answer (5 marks)
1. Alag-alag phases mein Chand kab ugta hai aur shaam/subah ke aasmaan mein kahan dikhta hai? Samjhao.
Niyam: Chand poorab mein ugta, paschim mein doobta hai, aur roz ~50 minute der se ugta hai.
Samay (lagbhag): Amavasya 6 AM (Sooraj ke saath, dikhta nahi) → waxing crescent ~9 AM → First Quarter ~12 PM → waxing gibbous ~3 PM → Purnima ~6 PM → waning gibbous ~9 PM → Last Quarter ~12 AM → waning crescent ~3 AM.
Shaam ka aasmaan: Shukla Paksha: patla crescent paschim mein neeche, aadha Chand dakshin mein sabse upar, gibbous poorab ki taraf, Purnima poorab mein ugti hui.
Subah ka aasmaan: Krishna Paksha: Purnima ke agle din Chand paschim mein doobta hua, gibbous paschim ki taraf, aadha Chand sabse upar, patla crescent poorab mein neeche.
Chamakta hissa hamesha Sooraj ki taraf hota hai.
2. “Mutthi se Naapo” activity ka varnan karo: kya karna hai, kya record karna hai, aur kya nishkarsh nikla.
Tayyari: Amavasya ke 2–3 din baad se, roz ek hi samay (sooraj doobne ke thodi der baad) aur ek hi jagah se dekho.
Naapna: haath seedha karke band mutthi ≈ 10°. Gino ki horizon se Chand kitni mutthi upar hai, aur Sooraj doobne ki jagah se kitni mutthi door.
Record: taareekh, samay, disha, mutthiyaan, shakal; 7 din tak.
Observation: Chand roz ~12° (ek mutthi se thoda zyada) poorab ki taraf khisakta hai aur uski shakal badhti hai; ~7 din mein aadha Chand dakshin mein upar.
Nishkarsh: Chand roz apne orbit mein ~12° aage badhta hai, isliye roz ~50 minute der se ugta hai aur Sooraj se door jaate hue uska chamakta hissa badhta hai.
📰 Case-Based Question
Ananya Delhi mein rehti hai. Usne akhbaar se October 2026 ke chandrodaya samay likhe: 26 Oct (Sharad Purnima) 5:34 PM, 27 Oct 6:18 PM, 28 Oct 7:11 PM, 29 Oct 8:11 PM. Un dinon sooraj lagbhag 5:40 PM par doob raha tha.
Q1. Har din chandrodaya kitni der se hua? In teen faraq ka average nikalo.
6:18 − 5:34 = 44 min; 7:11 − 6:18 = 53 min; 8:11 − 7:11 = 60 min. Average = (44 + 53 + 60) ÷ 3 = 157 ÷ 3 ≈ 52 minute.
Q2. Chand ugta hua dekhne ke liye Ananya ko kis disha mein dekhna chahiye?
Poorab (East) mein, horizon ke paas.
Q3. 30 October ko chandrodaya ka lagbhag samay kya hoga? (Average deri ~52 minute maano.)
8:11 PM + 52 min ≈ 9:03 PM, yaani lagbhag 9 baje raat. (Asal mein yeh 9:18 PM tha, kyunki roz ki deri badh rahi thi. Andaaza kaafi kareeb hai!)
Q4. 27 October se Chand ka chamakta hissa badhega ya ghatega? Lagbhag kab woh aadhi raat ke aas-paas ugta hua aadha Chand ban jaayega?
Ghatega, kyunki Purnima ke baad Krishna Paksha hai. Purnima se lagbhag 7 din baad, yaani 1–2 November ke aas-paas, Last Quarter Chand aadhi raat ke aas-paas ugega.
🚀 HOTS
1. Kya kabhi aisa ho sakta hai ki kisi calendar din Chand uge hi nahi? Kaise?
Haan. Chand roz ~50 minute der se ugta hai. Maan lo aaj woh 11:40 PM par uga; kal woh lagbhag 12:30 AM (yaani parson ki shuruaat) par ugega. Toh beech wale “kal” ke din (12 AM se 11:59 PM) koi chandrodaya hua hi nahi! Aisa mahine mein lagbhag ek baar hota hai.
2. Golu kehta hai, “Maine subah 9 baje poorab mein upar poora gol Chand dekha.” Kya yeh sambhav hai?
Nahi. Poora gol Chand (Purnima) Sooraj ke theek saamne hota hai. Subah Sooraj poorab mein hai, toh Purnima ka Chand paschim mein, doobta hua hoga ya doob chuka hoga. Poorab mein Sooraj ke paas sirf patla crescent ho sakta hai (aur woh bhi mushkil se dikhega).
3. Agar Chand Dharti ke chaaron taraf ulti disha mein ghoomta, toh chandrodaya ke samay par kya asar hota?
Tab Chand roz Dharti ke ghoomne ki ulti taraf ~12° khisakta, toh Dharti ko poora chakkar lagane se pehle hi Chand horizon par aa jaata. Chand roz lagbhag 45–50 minute jaldi ugta, der se nahi. (Yeh sirf “maan lo” sawaal hai; asal mein Chand Dharti wali disha mein hi ghoomta hai.)

💖 CharuMam Motivation
Chand roz thodi der se aata hai, par aata zaroor hai. Kabhi shaam ko, kabhi aadhi raat ko, kabhi subah, woh apna raasta kabhi nahi chhodta.
Aap bhi aise hi baniye, beta. Kisi din padhai der se shuru ho, koi baat nahi. Bas roz thoda aage badhiye, jaise Chand roz 12° aage badhta hai. Chhote-chhote kadam jud kar ek din poora chakkar, yaani poori jeet ban jaate hain! 🌙✨
