Zmeinogorsk prayer times overview
The Zmeinogorsk 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 Zmeinogorsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Zmeinogorsk coordinates: 51.1581°N and 82.1941°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.
Today in Zmeinogorsk 15 часов 7 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:03, while the evening prayer begins at 21:10. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 42 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:10 and the morning Fajr at 03:52. For Zmeinogorsk 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 Zmeinogorsk the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Zmeinogorsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:52 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:10 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:10 the start of the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Zmeinogorsk
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 Zmeinogorsk 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:52) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:10) 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 Zmeinogorsk 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.
