Local noon is the time when the sun is exactly to the south in the Northern Hemisphere, exactly to the north in the Southern Hemisphere and exactly overhead on the equator. It changes one minute for every 15 minutes of longitude you travel.
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
Morning fog often burns off by mid-morning or noon as the sun rises and warms the air, causing the fog to evaporate. However, this can depend on the weather conditions and local geography.
As viewed from the continental US local noon is defined as the moment when the Sun is positioned directly on the meridian, an imaginary line that crosses the sky from directly north to directly south.
Yes the sun is always highest in the sky at noon
The star will appear to cross the local celestial meridian first at exactly noon tomorrow. This is because stars have a small daily shift in their position due to Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing them to rise approximately four minutes earlier each day.
That's the definition of local noon, everywhere. In "standard" time zones, near the middle.
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
Post meridian means after noon.
local noon (not noon according to the clock)
It cannot according to the definition of "noon", but it can in some of the crazy time zones that some countries have.
It's the literal definition. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante meridiem, which is Latin for "before noon."
Noon, because the sun is directly overhead.

overhead
No, local solar noon does not always match local standard time noon. This is because local standard time is based on fixed time zones, while local solar noon is based on the position of the sun directly overhead. The two times can vary due to factors such as daylight saving time and the equation of time.
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).
Local apparent noon occurs at 12:13:36 local time at 123 degrees, 24 minutes W.
