Prayer times in Alta Sierra — common questions

What time is Fajr in Alta Sierra today?

Fajr in Alta Sierra begins at 04:28 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 Alta Sierra?

From Alta Sierra, the Qibla is 23.2° from true north — roughly NNE. 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 Alta Sierra?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United States. 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 Alta Sierra?

Day length in Alta Sierra ranges from about 9.7 hours at midwinter to 14.6 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.9 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 Alta Sierra?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Alta Sierra'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.
