How are prayer times calculated for Bristol?
Bristol lies at a latitude of about 51.45°N, in Bristol. 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 07:46 and Maghrib falls at 18:02, giving 10h 16m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:54) and Isha (currently 19:47) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Bristol, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 116° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,942 km.
