How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Peyanvilai is based on the astronomical sunset at 8.9°N, 78.0°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.

Sunset Calculation: Times are generated using precise astronomical calculations based on Peyanvilai's latitude, longitude, elevation, and timezone.
Optional Buffers: Communities can apply +3, +5, or +15 minute safety margins if desired, though these are for personal or local preference rather than necessity.

Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.

How Iftar Times Work

Atmospheric Refraction

Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.

Peyanvilai's Elevation

At 52m above sea level, Peyanvilai's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.

Astronomical Calculations

Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Peyanvilai's exact location (8.90°N, 77.98°E), timezone (Asia/Kolkata), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

When does Sehri end in Peyanvilai?

Sehri end time in Peyanvilai marks when the fast begins in the morning. During Ramadan, this time shifts daily as sunrise moves earlier or later. The time shown on this page is calculated for Peyanvilai's exact coordinates using the ISNA 15° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Peyanvilai during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 8.9°, Peyanvilai experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Peyanvilai vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season.

Why does Iftar in Peyanvilai differ from Madurai?

Compared to Madurai, Peyanvilai has sunset 1 minute earlier than Madurai due to its more westerly position, and 89m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset, and being further south means it has shorter fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Peyanvilai is at latitude 8.90°, while Madurai is at latitude 9.93°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
