Prayer Times in Brockville, Canada

The prayer day in Brockville

Brockville is a long way from Makkah — about 10,193 kilometres (6,334 miles) in a straight line. The bearing works out to roughly 57°, or east-north-east — a great-circle direction, not the one you would draw on a flat map.

A walk through today's times

Fajr opens the day at 5:55 am, well before first light. Sunrise at 7:36 am closes that window. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:46 pm; Asr comes round at 4:13 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:56 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:26 pm. That gives Brockville roughly 10 hours and 20 minutes of daylight today.

How much the times move

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Brockville. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.

Ramadan timings

A note on the method used

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 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.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Brockville arrives some 46 minutes after what the clock reads. It explains the 12:46 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.
