Prayer Times in Olivar, Chile

What these times mean for Olivar

The gap between suhoor and iftar in Olivar is wide just now. Today the fast runs from 5:10 am to 8:10 pm — about 15 hours — and the monthly table below shows how that eases week by week.

A note on the method used

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. 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. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Through the year

Olivar sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.

A walk through today's times

Fajr opens the day at 5:10 am, well before first light. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:44 am. Next is Dhuhr at 1:27 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 6:13 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 8:10 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 9:40 pm. That gives Olivar roughly 13 hours and 26 minutes of daylight today.

Finding the qibla

From this city the direction is east, or 82° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 13,174 kilometres (8,186 miles) away in a straight line.

The clock against the sun

The sun reaches its high point roughly 87 minutes after noon here. It explains the 1:27 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.

A few things worth knowing

No need to bookmark a timetable: the page recalculates for Olivar daily.
