What time will Orion rise November 29?

That will depend on where in the world you are. A number of websites, such as HeavensAbove, will allow you to see what the night sky looks like at a certain time and date, from your location. You also have to be clear as to what you mean when you say what time will it rise. It takes it some time to rise, from when the first part of it appears until it is all above the horizon, so you may want to measure your time at when you can see it in full. There are also other problems, like if you can see the horizon. So if you have to wait for it to rise over some other obstacles, it will obviously be later to see it rise in full, than if you have a clear view of the horizon.
