Salah times Karakoçan: calculation method and Asr

Method: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı method (Turkey). Asr: Standard.

Times follow Diyanet's official method: İmsak (Fajr) at 18°, Yatsı (Isha) at 17°, plus temkin, the fixed precaution minutes Diyanet adds (sunrise −7, Dhuhr +5, Asr +4, Maghrib +7). In Turkey İmsak is when the fast begins and equals Fajr here. For the places we checked, our minutes match Diyanet's published tables or differ by one minute at most, because Diyanet may use slightly different coordinates for a town. Switch the method or the Asr school below if your mosque follows another timetable.

—Europe/Istanbul

Karakoçan does not change its clocks; times stay on Europe/Istanbul all year. How times are calculated

Karakoçan, the Sun and the clock

Karakoçan is in Elazig and has about 30,000 people. The nearest larger city is Bingöl, 41 km to the east. Karakoçan lies 5° west of the 45° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 20 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:20, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Karakoçan: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 74° above the horizon in June and only 28° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Karakoçan range from 9h 26m in December to 14h 54m in June, a difference of 5h 28m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. At 1,087 m above sea level, Karakoçan sits on high ground. Times are calculated for a level horizon; from a hilltop or a tall building sunrise can come a little earlier and sunset a little later than listed, while mountains to the east or west do the opposite.

Maghrib time Karakoçan compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Karakoçan, calculated with the same method.
