How Ternate's prayer times are worked out

From Ternate, the Qibla is 291° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,723 km (6,041 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ternate's own coordinates (0.79°N, 127.38°E), not a national average. That is why Ternate's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Ternate sits just 0.79°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 34m. The shortest is about 13h 29m. That is a swing of only 0h 05m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ternate 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. We also publish times for nearby Bitung, Manado and Sorong. Each is only a few minutes off Ternate's clock.
