Hi,

This is because the calendar use a shortcut to speed the calculation 
when you request a long range of date. Remember I developed most of the 
V2 with a 166Mhz Pentium :-)

For rapidly moving object such the Moon, Sun, planets, some asteroid and 
comet we need an iterative or interpolative computation to find the real 
rise/set time.
This is done in the info box for one object but not in the calendar, or 
only for the Moon.

The Sun and Moon rise/set always refer to the upper limb and take 
account for the refraction.

In real world there is always a much bigger difference because of 
variation in the refraction, obstacle at the horizon, ...
