Chita prayer times overview
For Chita it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time is applied for Chita: the city's time zone is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Chita coordinates: 52.0341°N and 113.4994°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.
Chita prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Chita the sun rises at 05:55, while Maghrib begins at 21:08. Daylight lasts 15 часов 13 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Chita begins after Maghrib at 21:08 and lasts until Fajr at 03:37. Its duration is 6 часов 29 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Chita the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Chita prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:37 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:08 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:13 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Chita, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Chita
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Chita 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:37) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:08) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Chita 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.
