* Birur Halacha p. 98 notes that the Aruch Hashulchan 261 and Rav Ovadia Yosef in Yabia Omer YD 2:21 work with shaot zmaniyot and not degrees below horizon. He disagrees particularly because in the winter zmaniot hours are shorter and according to degrees below the horizon the sun sets slower than an equinox day. </ref> | * Birur Halacha p. 98 notes that the Aruch Hashulchan 261 and Rav Ovadia Yosef in Yabia Omer YD 2:21 work with shaot zmaniyot and not degrees below horizon.

In degrees, the most lenient views use 4.8 degrees, which corresponds to about 15 minutes after sunset in Israel.<ref>[https://ph.yhb.org.il/en/05-07-03/ Peninei Halacha] uses 4.8 degrees below horizon for 14 minutes after sunset in Jerusalem on Tzom Gedalya which is close to the equinox. Rav Tukachinsky in [https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=6656&st=&pgnum=82 Ben Hashemashot p. 72] writes 4.5 degrees below horizon for the Gra.</ref> Some use 18.6 minutes in Israel after sunset corresponding with 4.85 degrees and others use 24 minute (Baal Hatanya) corresponding with 6.00 degrees.<ref> Zmanim Khalacha (English section p. 312), myzmanim. [Note, that it seems that this calculation of the Baal Hatanya's tzeit is based on an understanding that he holds we're concerned that sunset is not until 4 minutes after sunset and then ben hashemashot begins, which takes 18 minutes according to Rabbi Yehuda and another 2 minutes for Rabbi Yosi. However, it seems in Piskei Hasiddur of the Baal Hatanya (ch. Hachnasat Shabbat) that he writes that 4 minutes is because someone who doesn't seem the sun dip below the horizon must be concerned 4 minutes earlier when the sun dips below the top of the trees. That being the case there is no reason to consider 24 minutes after sunset, only 24 minutes from the tops of the trees or 20 minutes after sunset.]</ref> | In degrees, the most lenient views use 4.8 degrees, which corresponds to about 15 minutes after sunset in Israel.<ref>[https://ph.yhb.org.il/en/05-07-03/ Peninei Halacha] uses 4.8 degrees below horizon for 14 minutes after sunset in Jerusalem on Tzom Gedalya which is close to the equinox.
