Prayer times in Palanca — common questions

What time is Fajr in Palanca today?

Fajr in Palanca begins at 03:35 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 Palanca?

From Palanca, the Qibla is 159.1° from true north — roughly SSE. 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 Palanca?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Moldova. 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Palanca?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Palanca'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.

Do prayer times in Palanca change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.2-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Palanca, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
