Chikola prayer times overview
The Chikola prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Chikola prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Chikola coordinates: 43.1954°N and 43.9204°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Chikola the sun rises at 05:00, while Maghrib begins at 19:20. Daylight lasts 14 часов 20 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:20 and the morning Fajr at 03:20. For Chikola this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.

Questions about prayer times in Chikola
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
The prayer schedule in Chikola 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 (03:20) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:20): 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Chikola according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
