Prayer times in Tainan — common questions
What time is Fajr in Tainan today?
Fajr in Tainan begins at 04:10 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 Tainan?
From Tainan, the Qibla is 286.7° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Tainan?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Taiwan. 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 Tainan?
Day length in Tainan ranges from about 10.7 hours at midwinter to 13.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2.8 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
How far is Tainan from Makkah?
Tainan lies approximately 8161 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.
