Great-circle bearing

The sun shows the direction from Luena on two days a year, and at set times on many others. You need a clear sky and something vertical, such as a stick or a pole.

When the sun stands over the Kaaba

Twice a year the sun passes directly over the Kaaba at noon in Makkah. At that moment the sun is in the qibla direction from every place where it is daytime: face the sun and you face the Kaaba. A vertical stick's shadow then points directly away from the qibla.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the Qibla in Luena with a compass?

Turn to a bearing of 31°, measured clockwise from true north. A magnetic compass points to magnetic north, which can differ from true north by a few degrees or more depending on where you are, so correct the reading for the local magnetic declination.

Why does the Qibla from Luena look different on a flat map?

The Qibla follows the shortest route over the globe, a great circle. On most flat maps that route is drawn as a curve, so a straight line on the map toward Makkah can point in a different direction from 31°.

How far is Luena from the Kaaba?

Luena is 4,285 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured along the shortest path over the Earth's surface.
