The five prayers

Worked out for the day from the sun, by the convention chosen. Fajr and Isha differ between conventions by the angle the sun stands below the horizon; a Muslim keeps the convention their mosque keeps.

The hours of prayer

The Christian hours are not fixed to the sun: Morning Prayer is said in the morning, at an hour a person or their church chooses. ActivePray keeps each branch’s hours as conventional defaults you can move, so there is nothing to work out here. How each branch prays.
