Sister Island lies 139 km east of George Town, so Dhuhr in Sister Island is called about 5 minutes earlier than in George Town. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Sister Island.
