How Prayer Times Work in New York
In North America, the ISNA method (15 degrees for both Fajr and Isha) is widely used, and many mosques follow it.
Midday (Dhuhr) in New York comes about 22 minutes earlier than in Toronto, because New York lies about 5.4 degrees further east. Both cities use the same clock time, and solar noon shifts by about 4 minutes for every degree of longitude.
Day length in New York changes through the year, from about 9 h 15 min in December to about 15 h 06 min in June. That is why Fajr, Sunrise and Maghrib move earlier or later across the seasons, and why fasting hours in Ramadan depend on the time of year. See the Ramadan calendar for Sehri and Iftar times.
