Kholtoson prayer times overview
The Kholtoson 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 is applied for Kholtoson: the city's time zone is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Kholtoson the coordinates 50.2981°N and 103.3097°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
According to today's schedule for Kholtoson, the sun rises at 06:57, while the Maghrib time begins at 18:59. 12 часов 2 минуты passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Kholtoson the period from Maghrib (18:59) to Fajr (05:20) lasts 10 часов 21 minute. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In the autumn months in Kholtoson daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.

Questions about prayer times in Kholtoson
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.
We update the schedule in Kholtoson 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:20) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (18:59) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Kholtoson it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
