Sola is located 310 km west of Oslo, so Dhuhr in Sola is called roughly 20 minutes later than in Oslo. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Sola.
Qibla direction in Sola
From Sola you pray towards the south-east, at an angle of 132.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,972 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Sola 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.
