Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Gorno-Altaysk may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Gorno-Altaysk — common questions

What time is Fajr in Gorno-Altaysk today?

Fajr in Gorno-Altaysk begins at 02:56 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 Gorno-Altaysk?

From Gorno-Altaysk, the Qibla is 247.1° from true north — roughly WSW. 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 Gorno-Altaysk?

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

Do prayer times in Gorno-Altaysk change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 9-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Gorno-Altaysk, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Gorno-Altaysk from Makkah?

Gorno-Altaysk lies approximately 5196 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
