Is sun rise or moon rise when the sun or moon breaks the horizon or when the entire sun or moon can be seen by the naked eye?

Sunrise (and moonrise) is when the leading edge of the sun just breaks the horizon, and sunset is when the trailing edge of the sun just sinks below the horizon. Observations may differ slightly from calculated times, since air conditions will effect the bending of the light
