Kabul

The capital of Afghanistan and of Kabul province

Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan and of Kabul province. All of Afghanistan keeps Kabul's clock, four and a half hours ahead of UTC, with no daylight saving time. So in the west of the country the sun rises and sets later than in Kabul, and in the east earlier.

The longest day of the year in ⁨Kabul⁩ lasts ⁨14 h 28 min⁩ (around ⁨1 Saratan⁩), the shortest ⁨9 h 51 min⁩ (around ⁨1 Jadi⁩).

Sunrise and sunset in ⁨Kabul⁩, month by month

This table holds for every year, within two minutes: the Shamsi year follows the sun, so each of its days has nearly the same sunrise and sunset every year. Times are Afghan time, for a flat horizon; behind mountains the sun shows a little later. ⁨30 Hut⁩ comes in leap years only.

The moon in ⁨Kabul⁩

The new moon here is the astronomical one, when the moon passes the sun; a Qamari month starts with the first sighting of the crescent, a day or two later. A dash: the moon doesn't rise or set that day, about once a month.

Twilight

Before sunrise and after sunset the sky is still light; it darkens as the sun sinks further below the horizon. ⁨First light⁩ and ⁨Nightfall⁩ on this page are when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon.

These are not prayer times

Prayer times have their own rules: Fajr and Isha are reckoned from other angles of the sun, and Asr has a rule of its own. ⁨First light⁩ on this page is not the end of suhur. For prayer times, see your mosque's timetable or a religious calendar for your city.
