Frequently asked questions
Why does Isha keep getting later after the December solstice in Benoni?
Sunset keeps getting later for a while after the 22 December solstice, and Isha follows it, so it does not peak with the longest day. In Benoni the latest Isha is 8:28 PM on 4 January, and it then eases earlier.
What are the longest and shortest days from Fajr to Maghrib in Benoni?
The longest is 15h 18m on 18 December and the shortest is 11h 52m on 15 June. Both fall a few days before the solstices, because the figure starts at dawn twilight, not at sunrise.
Which way is the Qibla from Benoni?
Face 14 degrees clockwise from true north, a touch east of due north. That is close to straight ahead if you stand facing north, which makes it an easy direction to correct by eye.
When does Fajr start latest in Benoni?
At 5:33 AM on 30 June, about the middle of the southern winter. After that it moves earlier each week into spring and summer, reaching 3:37 AM on 1 December.
