Kitoy prayer times overview
The Kitoy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Kitoy prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Kitoy coordinates: 52.6000°N and 103.9000°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.
Kitoy 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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Kitoy 15 часов 17 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:31, while the evening prayer begins at 20:48. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Kitoy the period from Maghrib (20:48) to Fajr (03:12) lasts 6 часов 24 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Kitoy the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Kitoy, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:12), Maghrib (20:48) and Isha (22:57) 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 Kitoy, 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 — 03:12: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:31: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:10: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:24: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:48: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:57: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kitoy
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 Kitoy 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:12) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:48) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
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 Kitoy 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.
