How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Santa Ana is based on the astronomical sunset at 14.6°N, 121.0°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 Santa Ana'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.

This daily progression is characteristic of Santa Ana's equatorial 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.

Santa Ana's Elevation

At 9m above sea level, Santa Ana'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 Santa Ana's exact location (14.58°N, 121.01°E), timezone (Asia/Manila), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

When does Sehri end in Santa Ana?

Sehri end time in Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana's exact coordinates using the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Santa Ana during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 14.6°, Santa Ana experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Santa Ana vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Santa Ana's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Santa Ana differ from Mandaluyong City?

The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Santa Ana is at latitude 14.58°, while Mandaluyong City is at latitude 14.58°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Santa Ana?

The Umm al-Qura 18.5° method is most commonly used by mosques in Santa Ana. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority.
