Vank prayer times overview
The Vank prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Vank is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Vank coordinates: 40.0528°N and 46.5442°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.
Vank 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.
According to today's schedule for Vank, the sun rises at 05:57, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:02. 14 часов 5 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Vank the period from Maghrib (20:02) to Fajr (04:24) lasts 8 часов 22 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Vank the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Vank prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:24 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:02 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:28 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Vank 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 Vank
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 Vank 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 (20:02) 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 Vank 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.
