Gornozavodsk prayer times overview
For Gornozavodsk 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 Gornozavodsk is 2 часа 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 Gornozavodsk the coordinates 58.3731°N and 58.3261°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Gornozavodsk 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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
The daytime interval in Gornozavodsk today is 16 часов 8 минут — from sunrise at 05:08 to Maghrib at 21:16. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Gornozavodsk begins after Maghrib at 21:16 and lasts until Fajr at 03:02. Its duration is 5 часов 46 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Gornozavodsk the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Gornozavodsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:02 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:16 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:14 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Gornozavodsk, 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 Gornozavodsk
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.
We update the schedule in Gornozavodsk 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 (03:02) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:16): 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 Gornozavodsk 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.
