Prayer times in Mercedes Norte — common questions

What time is Fajr in Mercedes Norte today?

Fajr in Mercedes Norte begins at 04:13 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 Mercedes Norte?

From Mercedes Norte, the Qibla is 59.8° 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 Mercedes Norte?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Costa Rica. 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 Mercedes Norte?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Mercedes Norte'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.

How far is Mercedes Norte from Makkah?

Mercedes Norte lies approximately 12971 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.
