Kosa prayer times overview
For Kosa 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.
The Kosa prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Kosa coordinates: 59.9454°N and 54.9919°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Kosa prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Kosa 16 часов 25 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:13, while the evening prayer begins at 21:38. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 33 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:38 and the morning Fajr at 03:11. For Kosa this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Kosa there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Kosa differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Kosa prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:11 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:38 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:32 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Kosa, 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 Kosa
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 Kosa 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:11) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:38) 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.
In Kosa, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
