How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Al Bayda' is based on the astronomical sunset at 32.8°N, 21.8°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 Al Bayda''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.

Latitude

At 32.8°N and 624m elevation in the Tripoli timezone, Al Bayda' 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 2.2 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 Al Marj at 32.5°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Al Bayda'.

Daily Sunset Progression In Al Bayda'

In Al Bayda', sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Al Bayda', following the seasonal daylight pattern at 32.8° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Al Bayda''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.

Al Bayda''s Elevation

At 624m above sea level, Al Bayda''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 Al Bayda''s exact location (32.76°N, 21.75°E), timezone (Africa/Tripoli), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Why does Iftar in Al Bayda' differ from Al Marj?

Compared to Al Marj, Al Bayda' has sunset 4 minutes later than Al Marj due to its more easterly position, and 291m higher elevation creates a slightly later sunset. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Al Bayda' is at latitude 32.76°, while Al Marj is at latitude 32.50°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
