JAKARTA - Each country has a different duration of Ramadan fasting. Therefore, some countries experience short fasting times, while other countries have longer fasting times.
The city of Nuuk in Greenland is one of the cities with the longest duration of fasting time, which is 20 hours. Unlike Greenland, residents of Santiago, Chile and Australians have a shorter fasting time of 11.5 hours.
Why does the duration of fasting vary by country? Because the time of fasting begins when the dawn light rises on the skyline and the fast will end when the sun has set.
Therefore, the position of the sun in each country varies after its pseudo-motion. This makes the length of fasting time in different countries different according to the position of latitude.
Indonesia itself is a tropical country so it is not so affected by this phenomenon of fasting duration. In Indonesia the duration of fasting is not too long and also not too short.
Unlike other countries located in the subtropical region. The time and duration of fasting also varies according to the conditions of latitude. The longest duration of fasting is in the subtropical region which takes place at the height of summer. For the inhabitants of The Earth in the northern part closer to the north pole, the length of fasting will be longer. So did the inhabitants of the southern part of the earth.
"On the contrary, the shortest duration of fasting occurs at the height of winter, where for the northern hemisphere, the closer to the north pole, the shorter the duration of fasting. The same goes for the southern hemisphere," said amateur astronomer Marufin Sudibyo.
