Kapustin Yar prayer times overview
For Kapustin Yar 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 is applied for Kapustin Yar: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Kapustin Yar geographic location is 48.5818°N, 45.7448°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
Today in Kapustin Yar 12 часов 2 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:47, while the evening prayer begins at 18:49. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 25 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 18:49 and the morning Fajr at 05:14. For Kapustin Yar 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 Kapustin Yar daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kapustin Yar: Fajr — 05:14, Maghrib — 18:49 and Isha — 20:16. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Kapustin Yar
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Kapustin Yar 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 (05:14) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (18:49): 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 Kapustin Yar 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.
