What time is it in San Carlos del Zulia right now?
The time in San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela is 9:13 am, 09:13 on a 24 hour clock, on Saturday September 26, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Caracas rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
San Carlos del Zulia sits at 9.00 degrees north and 71.93 degrees west, inside the tropics, north of the equator and 1,001 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 60.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 11.9 degrees west of that line. Those 11.9 degrees are worth 47 minutes 42 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 12:39 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over San Carlos del Zulia tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 15.4 days into its cycle and about 100% lit. The next full moon falls on September 26, 2026 at 12:48 pm Caracas time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 11:49 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the San Carlos del Zulia clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in San Carlos del Zulia
There is no clock change scheduled in America/Caracas within the next 400 days, so San Carlos del Zulia stays at UTC-4 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes San Carlos del Zulia an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

The antipode of San Carlos del Zulia
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela and you come out at 9.00 degrees south, 108.07 degrees east. That point is near Cilacap, Indonesia. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Cilacap, Indonesia, 175 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 8:13 pm on Saturday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 9.00 degrees north becomes 9.00 degrees south, and 71.93 degrees west becomes 108.07 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: San Carlos del Zulia is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+8, roughly twelve hours from San Carlos del Zulia, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in San Carlos del Zulia
Today the sun rises in San Carlos del Zulia at 6:37 am and sets at 6:41 pm, giving 12 hours 5 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in San Carlos del Zulia.
Sun and moon in San Carlos del Zulia today
The sun is up in San Carlos del Zulia for 12 hours 5 minutes today, from 6:37 am to 6:41 pm. The moon sets in San Carlos del Zulia at 6:24 am and comes up again at 6:42 pm. The next phase is the full moon on September 26, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in San Carlos del Zulia |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 5:27 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:51 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:16 am |
| Sunrise | 6:37 am |
| Solar noon | 12:39 pm |
| Sunset | 6:41 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:02 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 7:27 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:51 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in San Carlos del Zulia | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:16 am to 6:24 am | 0h 08m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:24 am to 7:04 am | 0h 41m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:14 pm to 6:54 pm | 0h 41m |
| Evening blue hour | 6:54 pm to 7:02 pm | 0h 08m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in San Carlos del Zulia |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:42 pm |
| Moonset | 6:24 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waxing |
| Illumination | 100% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 15.5 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 379,600 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Saturday, September 26, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Singapore are 15 hours apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 4:00 am in San Carlos del Zulia it is working hours in London, Delhi and Singapore, but outside them in San Carlos del Zulia and Los Angeles. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in San Carlos del Zulia
Seven days from September 26, 2026, computed for San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela at 9.00 degrees north, 71.93 degrees west, on the clock of America/Caracas. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from San Carlos del Zulia
From San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela the qibla is 64.4 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 25.6 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 11,840 km away, 7,357 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for San Carlos del Zulia, Venezuela before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
