Zelenets prayer times overview
The Zelenets 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 Zelenets: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Zelenets coordinates: 61.8849°N and 50.7489°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Zelenets, the sun rises at 03:17, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:07. 16 часов 50 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Zelenets 5 часов 16 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:07, while Fajr begins at 01:23. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Zelenets there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Zelenets differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Zelenets: Fajr — 01:23, Maghrib — 20:07 and Isha — 21:55. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Zelenets, 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 Zelenets
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.
Prayer times in Zelenets 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 (01:23) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:07): 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.
The location of Zelenets at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
