Atka prayer times overview
The Atka page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Atka is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Atka the coordinates 60.8339°N and 151.7900°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Atka the sun rises at 04:42, while Maghrib begins at 21:14. Daylight lasts 16 часов 32 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Atka begins after Maghrib at 21:14 and lasts until Fajr at 02:42. Its duration is 5 часов 28 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Atka there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Atka there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
If you plan your day around the Atka prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:42 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:14 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:06 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Atka are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:42: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

Questions about prayer times in Atka
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.
The prayer schedule in Atka is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:42) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:14): 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.
In Atka, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
