How are prayer times calculated for Aldershot?
Aldershot lies at a latitude of about 51.25°N, in Hampshire. 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 07:40 and Maghrib falls at 17:53, giving 10h 13m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:48) and Isha (currently 19:38) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Aldershot, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 118° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,819 km.
Prayer times in Aldershot are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Guildford (13 km), Woking (16 km) and Basingstoke (23 km).
