Zelenogradsk prayer times overview
The Zelenogradsk prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Zelenogradsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour behind Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Zelenogradsk the coordinates 54.9589°N and 20.4767°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.
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.
Today in Zelenogradsk 15 часов 35 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:56, while the evening prayer begins at 20:31. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 10 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:31 and the morning Fajr at 02:41. For Zelenogradsk this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Zelenogradsk the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Zelenogradsk, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:41), Maghrib (20:31) and Isha (22:37) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Zelenogradsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Zelenogradsk
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 Zelenogradsk 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 (02:41) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:31): 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 Zelenogradsk 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.
