Yelantsy prayer times overview
The Yelantsy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Yelantsy prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Yelantsy the coordinates 52.8036°N and 106.4057°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.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Yelantsy today is 15 часов 15 минут — from sunrise at 05:22 to Maghrib at 20:37. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yelantsy 6 часов 25 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:37, while Fajr begins at 03:02. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Yelantsy the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Yelantsy, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:02), Maghrib (20:37) and Isha (22:46) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Yelantsy, 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 Yelantsy
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 Yelantsy 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 (03:02) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:37): 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 better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Yelantsy it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
