Khānaqīn lies 149 km north-east of Baghdad, so Dhuhr in Khānaqīn is called about 4 minutes earlier than in Baghdad. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Khānaqīn.
Qibla in Khānaqīn and distance to Makkah
In Khānaqīn you face towards the south, at an angle of 202.2° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,537 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Khānaqīn and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
