Padangsidempuan is located 1,192 km north-west of Jakarta, so Dhuhr in Padangsidempuan is called roughly 30 minutes later than in Jakarta. This difference comes from 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 Padangsidempuan.
