How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Reno is based on the astronomical sunset at 39.5°N, 119.8°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 Reno'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 39.5°N and 1494m elevation in the Denver timezone, Reno is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 5 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 5.2 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 75 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Roseville at 38.8°N, this results in about 3 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Reno.

This daily progression is characteristic of Reno's temperate 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.

Reno's Elevation

At 1494m above sea level, Reno'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 Reno's exact location (39.55°N, 119.85°W), timezone (America/Denver), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Reno today?

Iftar in Reno today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Reno's exact location (39.55°N, 119.85°W) at 1494m elevation. The calculation uses the ISNA 15° method, which is standard across North America.

When does Sehri end in Reno?

Sehri end time in Reno 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 Reno's exact coordinates using the ISNA 15° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Reno during Ramadan 2026?

At 39.5°N, Reno experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Reno vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Reno's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Reno differ from Roseville?

Compared to Roseville, Reno has sunset 6 minutes later than Roseville due to its more easterly position, and 1447m higher elevation creates a slightly later 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. Reno is at latitude 39.55°, while Roseville is at latitude 38.77°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Reno?

The ISNA 15° method is most commonly used by mosques in Reno. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: ISNA 15°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
