Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy prayer times overview
The Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy: the city's time zone is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy coordinates: 50.8963°N and 142.1634°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.

Questions about prayer times in Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (05:45) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:22): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinskiy it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
