Orotukan prayer times overview
For Orotukan 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.
Local time is applied for Orotukan: the city's time zone is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Orotukan geographic location is 62.2639°N, 151.6698°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Orotukan 16 часов 51 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:33, while the evening prayer begins at 21:24. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Orotukan 5 часов 14 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:24, while Fajr begins at 02:38. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Orotukan there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Orotukan there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
If you plan your day around the Orotukan prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:38 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:24 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:11 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Orotukan, 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 Orotukan
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 Orotukan 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 (02:38) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:24) — 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.
In Orotukan, 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.
