Dankov prayer times overview
The Dankov prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Dankov is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Dankov coordinates: 53.2498°N and 39.1441°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.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
According to today's schedule for Dankov, the sun rises at 04:48, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:10. 15 часов 22 минуты passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Dankov the period from Maghrib (20:10) to Fajr (02:30) lasts 6 часов 20 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.

Questions about prayer times in Dankov
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.
We update the schedule in Dankov daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:10): 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 Dankov according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
