Starodub prayer times overview
For Starodub 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.
Starodub prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Starodub the coordinates 52.5850°N and 32.7631°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.
Starodub prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Starodub today is 15 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 05:16 to Maghrib at 20:33. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Starodub 6 часов 24 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:33, while Fajr begins at 02:57. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Starodub the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Starodub prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:57 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:33 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:41 the start of the night prayer.
The Starodub prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Starodub
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 Starodub 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 (02:57) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:33) — 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 Starodub 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.
