Platonovka prayer times overview
The Platonovka 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 Platonovka prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Platonovka the coordinates 52.7106°N and 41.9520°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.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Platonovka 15 часов 17 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:39, while the evening prayer begins at 19:56. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Platonovka 6 часов 24 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:56, while Fajr begins at 02:20. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Platonovka the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Platonovka, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:20), Maghrib (19:56) and Isha (22:05) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Platonovka
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.
The prayer schedule in Platonovka is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:20) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:56): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Platonovka it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
