Adama lies 78 km south-east of Addis Ababa, so Dhuhr in Adama comes roughly 2 minutes earlier than in Addis Ababa. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Adama.
Finding the Qibla from Adama
In Adama you pray towards the north, at an angle of 2.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,433 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Adama and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
