Ampahana lies 544 km north-east of Antananarivo, so Dhuhr in Ampahana is called about 11 minutes earlier than in Antananarivo. 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 Ampahana.
