What the sunrise time in London decides
Most of a panchang is measured from sunrise rather than from midnight, so the figure above sets the boundaries of the day's other timings in London: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.

Sunrise and sunset in other cities
Sunrise and sunset are properties of a place, so each city is calculated separately. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.

How sunrise and sunset are calculated
Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, using this city's coordinates and today's date. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the Sun's upper edge crosses the horizon, which is the convention a printed panchang uses and the reason these times differ by a minute or two from a "centre of the disc" figure.
Moonrise and moonset come from the same calculation for the Moon. They are the first after this sunrise and before the next — the panchang day — so a moonrise after midnight carries the next date. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all in that span and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
