Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Gainesville, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.

Duha

07:23 – 12:21From Ishraq until Dhuhr (12:21)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:08), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:21) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:32). The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.

The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Gainesville with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

8 March, 1 NovemberAmerica/New_York

Clocks change on 8 March and 1 November. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated

Gainesville, the Sun and the clock

Gainesville is in Georgia and has about 39,000 people. The nearest larger city is Johns Creek, 46 km to the southwest. Gainesville lies 8.8° west of the 75° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 35 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:35, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:35.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Gainesville: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 79° above the horizon in June and only 32° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Gainesville range from 9h 52m in December to 14h 27m in June, a difference of 4h 35m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Gainesville 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 Gainesville, calculated with the same method.
