Choratan prayer times overview
For Choratan 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 in Choratan is 1 hour 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 Choratan the coordinates 40.8619°N and 45.4879°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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 Choratan 14 часов 9 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:59, while the evening prayer begins at 20:08. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Choratan 8 часов 17 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:08, while Fajr begins at 04:25. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Choratan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Choratan: Fajr — 04:25, Maghrib — 20:08 and Isha — 21:36. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Choratan, 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 Choratan
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 Choratan 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 (04:25) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:08) — 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 Choratan 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.
