What state does the sun go over at noon?
Solar noon is the time when the Sun appears to contact the local celestial meridian. This is when the Sun apparently reaches its highest point in the sky, at 12 noon apparent solar time and can be observed using a sundial. The local or clock time of solar noon depends on the longitude and date.
What time is solar noon time?
The same as local apparent noon. When the sun is the highest in the sky. This is true. However; to be more specific solar noon is half way between sunrise and sunset. It's at solar noon that a point gets the most direct sunlight of the day. To calculate solar noon you find out how many hours of daylight there are between sunrise and sunset and divide by 2. Add the quotient to the sunrise time and that will give you the solar noon time.
In noon near the equator the Sun is?
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
Why is lightning diffrent colors?
The color of lightning is affected by the color of the sky. If the sun is still up, the lightning could be red or purple. Most of the time, it is seen as white or a dull blue during the night.
What is the solar time of 65 degrees W longitude if it is noon solar time at 70 degrees W longitude?
The sun appears to move westward in the sky, at the rate of almost exactly1 degree every 4 minutes.If the solar time is Noon at 70° W, then at the place 5° east of there, theapparent solar time is [ Noon plus (5 x 4) ] = 12:20 PM.
Why is the sun high in the sky at noon?
Well, you're looking at it backwards. The concept of "noon" is man-made. Noon describes that point during the day when the sun is directly (or nearly) overhead. So, to answer your question, the sun is high in the sky at noon because we define "noon" as that time during the day when the sun is high in the sky.
Is the sky purple at time of light or at 12 o'clock or in noon?
No the sky is always green
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky winter at noon or spring at noon?
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
Is noon a proper noun?
No, "noon" is a common noun. It refers to the time of day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
What is it called when the sun is its highest in the sky?

When do you see the shortest shadows?
At "local apparent noon", when the Sun is highest in the sky. This will be noon on your watch only if you are at the middle meridian in your time zone and if you are not on daylight savings time.
When do you see shortest shadows?
At "local apparent noon", when the Sun is highest in the sky. This will be noon on your watch only if you are at the middle meridian in your time zone and if you are not on daylight savings time.
What time of the day is the shadow smallest?
At noon (12:00PM) because that is the time when the sun is on its highest point in the sky.
At what time of the day would you expect to find the shortest shadows and why?
Shadows are the shortest when the sun is high in the sky. This is because when the sun is high in the sky, sunlight is striking the ground at an almost right angle making a short shadow. If the sun would be directly overhead, there would be no shadow.
