Study Notes

Jewish Prayers

Shacharit: Can be said until midday. Rebbi Yehuda says, it can be said until 4 hours into the day.
Mincha: Can be said until the evening (when it gets dark). Rebbi Yehuda says, it can be said until Plag Ha'Mincha.
Maariv/Arvit: Has no set time; can be said all night.
Musaf: Can be said all day. Rebbi Yehuda says, it can be said until 7 hours into the day.

Additional Notes

Shema: The mitzvah of saying Shema is with the sunrise, in order to connect saying the bracha of Ga'al Yisrael with Shemona Esrei. Vatikin (those who practice mitzvot early) would finish Shemona Esrei with sunrise.
Mistakes in Prayer: If a person makes a mistake and doesn't say evening prayer, they should say the Amida/Shemona Esrei twice in the morning. If a person makes a mistake and doesn't say morning prayer, they should say the Amida/Shemona Esrei twice in the afternoon. This implies that morning prayer can be said until the end of the afternoon prayer (mincha).
