What time is it in Santiago de Surco right now?

The time in Santiago de Surco, Peru is 9:16 am, 09:16 on a 24 hour clock, on Saturday September 26, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Lima rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Santiago de Surco sits at 12.14 degrees south and 77.01 degrees west, inside the tropics, south of the equator and 1,349 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 75.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 2.0 degrees west of that line. Those 2.0 degrees are worth 8 minutes 2 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:59 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

How far Santiago de Surco is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Santiago de Surco is Miraflores, Peru at 4 km, and the furthest is Battambang, Cambodia at 19,905 km, which is 99% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Santiago de Surco

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Santiago de Surco, Peru and you come out at 12.14 degrees north, 102.99 degrees east. That point is near Battambang, Cambodia. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Battambang, Cambodia, 110 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 9:16 pm on Saturday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 12.14 degrees south becomes 12.14 degrees north, and 77.01 degrees west becomes 102.99 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Santiago de Surco is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+7, roughly twelve hours from Santiago de Surco, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Santiago de Surco

Today the sun rises in Santiago de Surco at 5:55 am and sets at 6:04 pm, giving 12 hours 9 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 Santiago de Surco.

Sun and moon in Santiago de Surco today

The sun is up in Santiago de Surco for 12 hours 9 minutes today, from 5:55 am to 6:04 pm. The moon sets in Santiago de Surco at 5:41 am and comes up again at 6:12 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Prayer times in Santiago de Surco

Seven days from September 26, 2026, computed for Santiago de Surco, Peru at 12.14 degrees south, 77.01 degrees west, on the clock of America/Lima. 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 Santiago de Surco, Peru, 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 Santiago de Surco

From Santiago de Surco, Peru the qibla is 72.1 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 17.9 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 13,253 km away, 8,235 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Santiago de Surco, Peru 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 Santiago de Surco, Peru 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.
