Choya prayer times overview
The Choya page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Choya: the city's time zone is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Choya the coordinates 52.0111°N and 86.5482°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Choya 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.
The daytime interval in Choya today is 12 часов 2 минуты — from sunrise at 07:04 to Maghrib at 19:06. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 18 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:06 and the morning Fajr at 05:24. For Choya this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In the autumn months in Choya daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.
When preparing for prayer in Choya, it is convenient to check Fajr (05:24), Maghrib (19:06) and Isha (20:39) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Choya 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 — 05:24: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 07:04: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:06: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:09: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 19:06: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 20:39: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Choya
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.
Prayer times in Choya 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 (05:24) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:06): 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Choya it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
