How are prayer times calculated for Plymouth?
Plymouth lies at a latitude of about 50.38°N, in Devon. Because prayer times depend on the position of the sun at a given location, the timings here are calculated specifically for these coordinates rather than borrowed from another town.
Today the sun rises at 07:07 and Maghrib falls at 16:52, giving 9h 45m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:16) and Isha (currently 18:36) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Plymouth, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 114° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,990 km.
Prayer times in Plymouth are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Exeter (57 km), Swansea (139 km) and Cardiff (140 km).
