Prayer Times in Comandante Fontana, Argentina

Comandante Fontana prayer times explained

There are around 13 hours and 1 minutes between sunrise and sunset in Comandante Fontana today. That number is the one driving the whole timetable: lengthen the day and Isha moves back, shorten it and the afternoon prayers crowd together.

The calculation behind them

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

If you are fasting

Suhoor closes at 4:48 am in Comandante Fontana, with iftar at 7:13 pm. Roughly 14 hours and 25 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

How the day runs in Comandante Fontana

Fajr is at 4:48 am — early, and in darkness. The sun appears at 6:12 am, which ends the Fajr period. Dhuhr 12:42 pm, Asr 5:19 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 7:13 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 8:43 pm. That gives Comandante Fontana roughly 13 hours and 1 minutes of daylight today.

Which way to face in Comandante Fontana

From this city the direction is east-north-east, or 74° if you prefer the number. The distance works out to about 11,917 kilometres, or 7,405 miles. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.

The yearly swing

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Comandante Fontana brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

A quirk of the timezone

The sun reaches its high point roughly 42 minutes after noon here. It explains the 12:42 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

Nearby cities

There are 14 more Argentina cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Comandante Fontana's. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.
