How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Kent is based on the astronomical sunset at 47.4°N, 122.2°W. 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 Kent'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 47.4°N and 123m elevation in the Los_Angeles timezone, Kent is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 8 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.4 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 120 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Bellevue at 47.6°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Kent.

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.

Kent's Elevation

At 123m above sea level, Kent'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 Kent's exact location (47.39°N, 122.21°W), timezone (America/Los_Angeles), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

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

Why does Iftar in Kent differ from Bellevue?

Kent and Bellevue share nearly identical sunset times due to their close proximity. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Kent is at latitude 47.39°, while Bellevue is at latitude 47.60°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
