Is the sun at noon at the horizon?
If the Sun is overhead, it is "noon". There are complications due to exactly how we define noon and time zones, but that's probably a good enough answer. If you want to be more exact it is noon according to the "local apparent solar time". The sun can only ever be overhead if you live within about 23.4 degrees of the equator (namely between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn). Even there, the sun will only be overhead on one or two days of the year at any location.
