Questions about prayer times in Kurchatov
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
Prayer times in Kurchatov 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:53) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:18) — 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 Kurchatov 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.
