Frequently asked questions
Why is the shortest fast in Salt Lake City not on the day Isha is earliest?
Isha is earliest at 6:21 PM on 4 December, less than two weeks before the shortest fast, 10h 37m on 17 December. A fast runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so it depends on the morning as well as the evening, and the two ends reach their extremes on different dates.
How early does Fajr get in a Salt Lake City summer?
As early as 4:16 AM, on 12 June, which is more than a week before the 21 June solstice. After that Fajr starts drifting later again, while Isha keeps moving later until the solstice itself.
How much do fasting days vary across the year in Salt Lake City?
The longest, 16h 46m on 18 June, is more than six hours longer than the shortest, 10h 37m on 17 December. Both are measured from Fajr to Maghrib, and both fall within four days of their solstice.
Which direction is the Qibla in Salt Lake City?
The bearing is 29 degrees clockwise from true north, which is closer to north-east than to north. A flat map suggests a more easterly direction, but the shortest route to Makkah curves over the northern latitudes, so the line points well north of east.
