Prayer times in Santana do Acaraú — common questions

What time is Fajr in Santana do Acaraú today?

Fajr in Santana do Acaraú begins at 04:36 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Santana do Acaraú?

From Santana do Acaraú, the Qibla is 67.8° from true north — roughly ENE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Santana do Acaraú?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Brazil. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Santana do Acaraú?

Day length in Santana do Acaraú ranges from about 11.9 hours at midwinter to 12.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Santana do Acaraú?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Santana do Acaraú's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
