朝
the morning sunrise with the sun
sun rise The sun 日 rises between plants 艹 . The very similar radical 莫 stands for sunset. This seems bizarre, can be argued based on the characters for morning 朝 in comparison to evening 暮.
月
moon, month When it is at the left in the character then often with the meaning "body part". If at the right, then as "moon, month, period".
旦
sun rise The sun 日 above the horizon 一 at sunrise.
