How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in An Nasiriyah is based on the astronomical sunset at 31.0°N, 46.3°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 An Nasiriyah'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.

At 31.0°N and 11m elevation in the Baghdad timezone, An Nasiriyah is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.0 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Ash Shatrah at 31.4°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in An Nasiriyah.

This daily progression is characteristic of An Nasiriyah's subtropical latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.

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.

An Nasiriyah's Elevation

At 11m above sea level, An Nasiriyah'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 An Nasiriyah's exact location (31.04°N, 46.26°E), timezone (Asia/Baghdad), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
