Vacha prayer times overview
The Vacha page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Vacha 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.
Vacha coordinates: 55.8003°N and 42.7746°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Vacha the sun rises at 04:23, while Maghrib begins at 20:06. Daylight lasts 15 часов 43 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Vacha the period from Maghrib (20:06) to Fajr (02:10) lasts 6 часов 4 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Vacha the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Vacha: Fajr — 02:10, Maghrib — 20:06 and Isha — 22:10. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Vacha are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Vacha
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 Vacha 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:10) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:06): 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Vacha according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
