Central Java is located 404 km east of Jakarta, so Dhuhr in Central Java is called roughly 14 minutes earlier than in Jakarta. 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 Central Java.
