How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Gdansk is based on the astronomical sunset at 54.3°N, 18.6°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 Gdansk'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.

Gdansk's Elevation

At 9m above sea level, Gdansk'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 Gdansk's exact location (54.35°N, 18.65°E), timezone (Europe/Warsaw), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

The times shown on this page are calculated for Gdansk's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Gdansk differ from Poznan?

Compared to Poznan, Gdansk has sunset 7 minutes later than Poznan due to its more easterly position, and 55m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset, and being further north means it has longer fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Gdansk is at latitude 54.35°, while Poznan is at latitude 52.41°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Gdansk?

The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Gdansk. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: MWL 18°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°.
