The Sun is in the south and at its highest point at 12 noon. Either side of that it appears to move along a line on the celestial sphere, moving 15 degrees every hour from east to west.
If you imagine a globe with lines of latitude and longitude, the celestial sphere is a similar globe projected on to the sky. As the Earth rotates, the Sun appears to move along a line of longitude on the celestial sphere, and the 'longitude' is measured by the hour-angle, which is zero at noon and increases 15 degrees every hour until it gets to 360 degrees just before noon the next day.
Actually the Sun sometimes gets ahead of itself - or behind - by a few minutes, so that it is not exactly south at noon, and that discrepancy is the 'equation of time'.

What does Robert Frost mean by luminary clock against the sky?
In Robert Frost's poem "Acquainted with the Night," the phrase "luminary clock against the sky" likely refers to the moon, symbolizing the passage of time through the changing phases of the moon in the night sky. The moon acts as a natural timekeeper that the speaker is acquainted with as he wanders alone at night, feeling disconnected from the world around him.
