Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 0.0°. Adamstown is the closest to the Kaaba (18,910 km) and Adamstown the farthest (18,910 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 109.4°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
