Yel'sk prayer times overview
The Yel'sk page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Yel'sk: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Yel'sk coordinates: 51.8136°N and 29.1544°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Yel'sk today is 12 часов 1 minute — from sunrise at 06:54 to Maghrib at 18:55. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 19 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 18:55 and the morning Fajr at 05:14. For Yel'sk this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In the autumn months in Yel'sk daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.
If you plan your day around the Yel'sk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:14 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:55 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:28 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Yel'sk, 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 Yel'sk
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Yel'sk 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 (05:14) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (18:55): 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 Yel'sk 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.
