Chaeryŏng-ŭp is located 72 km south of Pyongyang, so Dhuhr in Chaeryŏng-ŭp is called roughly 1 minute later than in Pyongyang. The gap is due to 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 Chaeryŏng-ŭp.
