Zhitnevo prayer times overview
For Zhitnevo it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Zhitnevo prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Zhitnevo coordinates: 55.3423°N and 37.9146°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Zhitnevo 15 часов 38 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:45, while the evening prayer begins at 20:23. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Zhitnevo begins after Maghrib at 20:23 and lasts until Fajr at 02:31. Its duration is 6 часов 8 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Zhitnevo the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Zhitnevo prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:31 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:23 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:28 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Zhitnevo, 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 Zhitnevo
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 Zhitnevo 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 (02:31) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:23) 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.
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 Zhitnevo 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.
