Left: sunrise

(The sun 日 rises between plants 艹), right: moon 月

At sunrise, the moon is still there: It is morning.

朝	morning	The left part already stands for sunrise and is a variant of the sunrise 旦, where the sun is above the horizon. When the moon 月 is still there, it is the morning. The sunset is: 莫.
	sun rise	Please be aware that this very similar radical 莫 stands for the sunset. This appears strange, but seems to be fact-based due to: sunset 暮 and morning 朝.
月	month	The radical tsuki stands for moon or month when used at the right side of a character. However the radical niku 肉 that stands for body or body-part is in many cases simplified to 月 and thus looks equal as "moon".
艹	plant, grass	Shows two plants growing through the ground, and is a simple variation of 艸.
旦	sun rise	The sun 日 rises above the horizon 一.
