nothing - the 7th day (to Christains it's Sunday/ to the Jews, it's Saturday, aka Sabbath); it is a day of resting.

Afternoon starts after 12:00, and evening starts when it begins to get dark (right now it's somewhere around 6:00, but it's about 8:00 in the summer)

From Astronomy Magazine December 1997 \n\nOn December 21, the sun reaches the farest point south in its travels around \nthe celestrial sphere. On December 21, those of us who live in the Northern \nHemisphere will experience the shortest day of the year. You might assume \nthat the 21st also features the latest sunrise and the earliest sunset of the \nyear, but in fact, this isn't true. To understand what's happening, we have to \nexamine a lovely curve known as the analemma. We start with the fact that \nour method of reckoning time is based on the sun's daily trip across the sky. \nSpecifically, we've regarded mid-way, or "noon" as that time when the sun is \nhighest in the sky, half-way between sunrise and sunset. \nYou can generate the analemma by plotting the position of the sun in your \nsky at the same time each day, as astrophotographer Fank Zullo did several \nyears ago. Between September 9, 1990, and August 23, 1991, he made 37 \nexposures of the sun on a single film frame. Each photo was taken at exactly \n8:00 a.m. MST. He then used a simple double exposure technique, "burning in" \nthe suns into the sky above the sundial. The analemma graphically shows why \nthe latest sunrise and earliest sunset don't occur on the day of the solstice.

Depends on where in California is your reference. Eastern California will have an earlier sunset time than Western California

Actually, the Jewish calender begins with the month of Nisan, in the spring.  There are a few new years in Judaism - Nisan is the first month for the counting of the months.  The beginning of Tishrei - ROsh HaShana - marks the years from the creation of the universe.  There is also the new month for tree on Tu B'Shvat, the 15th of the month of Shevat.  And the beginning of Elul is the new year for maaser of cattle, or something that has to do with tithing.

No, the first number, real number, in the Bible is the number 1. The actual Hebrew text for genesis reads 'it was evening it was morning YOM ECHAD,' and 'echad' means 'one,' not the word 'first.'\n\n         Genesis 1:5  And God called the light Day, \n         and the darkness he called Night. And the \n         evening and the morning were the first \n         day. \n\nGen 1:5 ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשׁך קרא לילה ויהי־ערב ויהי־בקר יום אחד׃

This has to be a trick question, what were you thinking?  Rosh Codesh is the 1st of the month. So your question is "When the 9th falls on the 1st..."  \n\nPerhaps you meant to ask "If Tisha b'Av falls on Sabbath do we fast?"

Yom Kippur is the most important day on the Jewish calendar  which follows the Jewish New Year which is 10 days prior. It is called in English 'The day of atonement' because on this day the Jewish people are judged in heaven and forgiven for all their sins. The fate of every person is decided on this day for the year too. Yom Kippur starts on the night before at sunset and ends 25 hours later. We fast throughout that 25 hour period and pray in Synagogue most of the day wearing white as we are likened to angels. Hope i answered your question!

Sabbath is the 'day of rest' and is put aside for God.\nWhich day for you depends on your religion, I think for Jews it lasts from sunset friday to sunset Saturday. (please someone correct me if I'm wrong)\nFor Christians, it is Sunday.

Its the moment of sunrise when the sun starts to rise above the horizon.  \n\nThe sun can appear like a crack of light on the horizon.

Hmmm... I'd say sometime in pre-school or earlier when their mother or teacher said, look sweetheart, that is the sun.\n\nDid you want to clarify your question?

I live down here in Wyoming and so you and I would see the sunrise at just about the same time. The crux of your question is, however, what day of the year?

Humans.  The morning is birth, when we crawl as babies.  The afternoon is when we are young and mid-adults, when we walk.  The evening is when we are older and use a cane.  The one voice is always our own.  Ah, the Riddle of the Sphinx.  ;)
