As Ramadan approaches, astronomical calculations suggest that fasting will begin in Pakistan on March 12. During Ramadan, the daily fasting period is directly tied to daylight hours, which vary based on geographical location. Countries near the North Pole have longer fasting hours due to extended daylight, while those farther south experience shorter days.
In the upcoming holy month, Pakistanis are expected to fast for nearly 14 hours, with Karachi observing a fasting duration of 13 hours and 54 minutes.
Locations with the longest fasting hours include Nuuk, Greenland (17 hours and 26 minutes), Reykjavik, Iceland (17 hours and 25 minutes), and Helsinki, Finland (17 hours and 9 minutes).
On the other hand, locations with the shortest fasting hours are Puerto Mont, Chile (12 hours and 44 minutes), Christchurch, New Zealand (12 hours and 46 minutes), and Nairobi, Kenya (13 hours and 15 minutes).
