Shkotovo prayer times overview
The Shkotovo page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Shkotovo prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 7 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Shkotovo coordinates: 43.3206°N and 132.3544°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Shkotovo 12 часов 2 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 07:01, while the evening prayer begins at 19:03. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 33 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:03 and the morning Fajr at 05:36. For Shkotovo this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Shkotovo prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.

Questions about prayer times in Shkotovo
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Shkotovo 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:36) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (19:03) — 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 Shkotovo 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.
