Yershichi prayer times overview
The Yershichi 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 is applied for Yershichi: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Yershichi the coordinates 53.6727°N and 32.7548°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.
Yershichi 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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Yershichi today is 15 часов 25 минут — from sunrise at 05:12 to Maghrib at 20:37. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Yershichi begins after Maghrib at 20:37 and lasts until Fajr at 02:55. Its duration is 6 часов 18 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Yershichi the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Yershichi: Fajr — 02:55, Maghrib — 20:37 and Isha — 22:46. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Yershichi, 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 Yershichi
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.
The prayer schedule in Yershichi 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 (02:55) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:37) 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.
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 Yershichi according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
