Across the year, daylight in Sokoto ranges from about 11 hours on the shortest day to 13 hours on the longest — a swing of roughly 2 hours. Because Sokoto lies close to the equator, sunrise and sunset stay remarkably steady all year, so Fajr and Isha shift only slightly from month to month.
From Sokoto, the Qibla — the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Makkah — points to a compass bearing of 71° (east). The Kaaba lies about 3,779 km away in a straight line, so worshippers in Sokoto turn east to face it.
