Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:52), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:02) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:09). 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 Chapel Hill 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

Chapel Hill, the Sun and the clock

Chapel Hill is in North Carolina and has about 60,000 people. The nearest larger city is Durham, 17 km to the east-northeast. Chapel Hill lies 4.1° west of the 75° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 16 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:16, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:16.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Chapel Hill: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 78° above the horizon in June and only 31° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Chapel Hill range from 9h 43m in December to 14h 36m in June, a difference of 4h 53m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Chapel Hill compared with nearby cities
