Ts'khinvali prayer times overview
For Ts'khinvali 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.
Ts'khinvali prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Ts'khinvali geographic location is 42.2276°N, 43.9686°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Ts'khinvali 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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Ts'khinvali today is 14 часов 16 минут — from sunrise at 06:02 to Maghrib at 20:18. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Ts'khinvali the period from Maghrib (20:18) to Fajr (04:24) lasts 8 часов 6 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Ts'khinvali the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Ts'khinvali prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:24 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:18 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:48 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Ts'khinvali, 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:24: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:02: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:10: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:11: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:18: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:48: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Ts'khinvali
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 Ts'khinvali 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:24) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:18) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
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 Ts'khinvali 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.
