Columbus prayer times overview
The Columbus prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Columbus prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 7 часов behind Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Columbus coordinates: 39.9612°N and 82.9988°W. 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 Columbus the sun rises at 06:35, while Maghrib begins at 20:40. Daylight lasts 14 часов 5 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 30 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:40 and the morning Fajr at 05:10. For Columbus this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Columbus the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Columbus prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:10 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:40 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:05 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Columbus, 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 Columbus
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 Columbus 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 (05:10) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:40): 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 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 Columbus 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.
