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.

Does local solar noon always match local standard time noon?

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.
