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.

Baguio City's Elevation

At 1444m above sea level, Baguio City'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.

Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Baguio City's exact location (16.41°N, 120.59°E), timezone (Asia/Manila), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
