Questions about prayer times in Zolotukhino
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.
We update the schedule in Zolotukhino daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:46) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:16) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Zolotukhino 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.
