Coverage Across Brazil
The directory currently includes 10 cities in Brazil. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.
Within this city set, Manaus is the furthest north and Porto Alegre the furthest south, a latitude span of about 26.9°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.
Manaus and Recife are the east-west extremes represented here, about 25.1° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.
The listed cities use 5 different IANA time zones. Choose the actual city when the local clock matters, especially around daylight-saving changes.
