Khatanga prayer times overview
The Khatanga page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Khatanga prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Khatanga the coordinates 71.9800°N and 102.4711°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Khatanga prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Khatanga the sun rises at 01:08, while Maghrib begins at 23:17. Daylight lasts 22 часа 9 минут. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Khatanga begins after Maghrib at 23:17 and lasts until Fajr at 00:38. Its duration is 1 hour 21 minute. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Khatanga, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
For Khatanga the high-latitude adjustment is important: during a very long day or a short night, the usual astronomical calculation may need correction.
When preparing for prayer in Khatanga, it is convenient to check Fajr (00:38), Maghrib (23:17) and Isha (23:44) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Khatanga, 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 00:38: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 01:08: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:16: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:12: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 23:17: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:44: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Khatanga
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.
Prayer times in Khatanga 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 (00:38) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (23:17): 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.
Because Khatanga is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
