#Plag Hamincha is 10.45 hours into the day.<ref>Gemara Brachot 26b, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 233:1</ref> Some define it as 1.25 hours before Tzet, the emergence of the stars, and some define it as 1.25 hours before Shekiya, sunset.<ref>See Magen Avraham 267:1 and [[When_Is_the_Earliest_and_Latest_Time_to_Pray%3F#Maariv_Before_Sunset_If_One_Davened_Mincha_Early]]. Yalkut Yosef (Shabbat v. 1 p. 168 263 fnt. 62; 235:1; 267:12), Ben Ish Chai Vayahakel n. 8. In all of those places the calculation of Plag is made from Tzet according to the Geonim. However, Kaf Hachaim 233:7 and Halichot Olam v. 1 p. 248-9 hold that plag can be calcuated 1.25 hours before shekiya like the Gra.</ref>
