A male rabbit is called a buck, and a female is called a doe. A baby rabbit is called a kit, which is short for kitten. Rabbits have a gestation period of around 31 days. The female can have up to 12-13 kits, very rarely litters as big as 18 and as small as one. Some people have rabbits as pets. Rabbits are also raised for their meat.
Sunrise occurs before the Sun actually reaches the horizon because the Sun's image is refracted by the Earth's atmosphere. At the horizon, the average amount of refraction is 34 arcminutes, though this amount varies based on atmospheric conditions.
But, few people notice something unusual, sunrise does not occur earlier until well after the solstice. That is, until well into January the days grow longer because sunset is a little later each day while sunrise might actually occur later or hold at the same time for several days.he U.S. Naval Observatory table for sunrise and sunset times in Indianapolis shows that the sun rises there at rises at 8:03 a.m. and sets at 5:24 p.m. on Dec. 22. By Dec. 25, the sun rises at 8:04 and sets at 5:26.
