How far Ribeirao das Neves is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Ribeirao das Neves is Contagem, Brazil at 19 km, and the furthest is Ginowan, Japan at 18,912 km, which is 94% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Ribeirao das Neves

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil and you come out at 19.77 degrees north, 135.91 degrees east. That point is in the Indian Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Ginowan, Japan, 1,103 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 6:34 pm on Friday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 19.77 degrees south becomes 19.77 degrees north, and 44.09 degrees west becomes 135.91 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Ribeirao das Neves is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+9, roughly twelve hours from Ribeirao das Neves, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Ribeirao das Neves

Today the sun rises in Ribeirao das Neves at 5:13 am and sets at 6:08 pm, giving 12 hours 55 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Ribeirao das Neves.

Sun and moon in Ribeirao das Neves today

The sun is up in Ribeirao das Neves for 12 hours 55 minutes today, from 5:13 am to 6:08 pm. The moon rises in Ribeirao das Neves at 3:11 am and sets at 3:56 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 9, 2026. It is 7% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 5.5 percentage points a day.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Ribeirao das Neves

Seven days from November 6, 2026, computed for Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil at 19.77 degrees south, 44.09 degrees west, on the clock of America/Sao_Paulo. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Ribeirao das Neves

From Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil the qibla is 67.8 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 22.2 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 10,203 km away, 6,340 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Ribeirao das Neves, Brazil before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
