add the amount of sunlight, divide by 2, add to the sunrise.
Your answer is there
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
Noon, because the sun is directly overhead.

Well, honey, local solar noon and local standard time noon are like two peas in a pod - they're supposed to be besties but they don't always sync up perfectly. Local solar noon is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, while local standard time noon is just a man-made construct to keep our schedules in check. So, they might be close pals most of the time, but they're not joined at the hip.
No, because of the difference between their longitudes, mean local noon at Buffalo (12:16 PM EST) is about 20½ minutes after mean local noon at Albany (11:55 AM EST).
That's the definition of local noon, everywhere. In "standard" time zones, near the middle.
Local apparent noon occurs at 12:13:36 local time at 123 degrees, 24 minutes W.
11:37 if my math is correct :)
The opposite of midnight is midday, or noon(local).
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.
