That's called "solar noon". The time on your clock can be anything between 11:31 AM and 12:29 PM,
depending on where you're located in your time zone. During Daylight Savings Time, it can be anything
between 12:31 and 1:29 PM.

At what time of the day would you expect to find the shortest shadows and why?
Shadows are the shortest when the sun is high in the sky. This is because when the sun is high in the sky, sunlight is striking the ground at an almost right angle making a short shadow. If the sun would be directly overhead, there would be no shadow.
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.

Would a person at each of the points AB and C see the sun?
It depends on where the points are on the Earth (which is not given in the question). For instance: while it may be night (dark) in America, it will be day (light) in the UK.
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky winter at noon or spring at noon?
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
