Insein is located 318 km south of Nay Pyi Taw, so Dhuhr in Insein practically coincides with Nay Pyi Taw. The gap is due to longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Insein.

From Insein you face towards the west, at an angle of 284.4° from true north; the Kaaba is 5,903 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Insein and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
