Vanadzor prayer times overview
The Vanadzor 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 Vanadzor prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Vanadzor geographic location is 40.8074°N, 44.4970°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.
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.
The daytime interval in Vanadzor today is 14 часов 9 минут — from sunrise at 06:03 to Maghrib at 20:12. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Vanadzor begins after Maghrib at 20:12 and lasts until Fajr at 04:29. Its duration is 8 часов 17 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Vanadzor the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Vanadzor prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:29 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:12 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:39 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Vanadzor, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Vanadzor
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.
The prayer schedule in Vanadzor 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 (04:29) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:12): 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.
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 Vanadzor 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.
