Because Moscow is located at a high latitude of 55.76° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer. At this latitude, the sun does not descend far enough (18 degrees) below the horizon. Consequently, Asr is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of May, the solar path in Moscow results in a shifting schedule. The Asr window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Moscow spans from sunset to dawn.
