Prayer Times in Frías, Argentina

About the times on this page

Praying in Frías means facing a point roughly 12,532 kilometres off, around the curve of the world. Over that distance the shortest path curves noticeably, which is why the qibla here points east-north-east (77°) rather than the direction a flat map would suggest.

How much the times move

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Frías 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

True midday in Frías arrives some 64 minutes after what the clock reads. It explains the 1:04 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

How the day runs in Frías

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 5:02 am. Sunrise at 6:29 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 1:04 pm, and Asr at 5:45 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 7:39 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 9:09 pm. That gives Frías roughly 13 hours and 10 minutes of daylight today.

Where these times come from

The underlying method 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 here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.
