How Palu's prayer times are worked out

From Palu, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,015 km (5,602 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Palu's own coordinates (0.91°S, 119.87°E), not a national average. That is why Palu's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Palu sits just 0.91°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 35m. The shortest is about 13h 28m. That is a swing of only 0h 07m between December and June. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Palu come from Kementerian Agama, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs. The Kemenag method sets Fajr when the sun is 20° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Palu sits west of its Makassar meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:07 PM. We also publish times for nearby Palopo, Polewali and Bontang. Each is only a few minutes off Palu's clock.
